A review by qui
Old French Fairy Tales by Comtesse de Ségur, Virginia Frances Sterrett

1.0

I feel like I read a different book than everyone else, because I thought it was horrible and sexist and half the stories were about emotionally abusing girls. I'm a little bit sorry for anyone who grew up reading about how being curious was going to get everything and everyone you loved killed, so instead you should force yourself to be a submissive and passive girl who does everything your menfolk tell you to do. Because these stories really went out of their way to drive those ideas home.
