The story of Cinderella is a historical tale (one version from Greece is 2000 years old). In case you have missed it, it’s about a lovely teenager who, after oppression by her step-family, advances in her social status through love and marriage. French writer Charles Perralt, in his 1697 version
Cendrillion weaved in plot elements of a fairy godmother, pumpkin carriage, glass slipper and an abusive stepmother and stepsisters. It is this iteration on which Disney based his cartoon and films which inspired subsequent retellings through the decades because of the story’s appeal of a woman empowered to change her life and advance into wealth through love.
