520    "Challenges the ableism of fairy tales and offers new ways
       to celebrate the magic of all bodies. In fairy tales, 
       happy endings are the norm - as long as you're beautiful 
       and walk on two legs. After all, the ogre never gets the 
       princess. And since fairy tales are the foundational myths
       of our culture, how can a girl with a disability ever 
       think she'll have a happy ending? By examining the ways 
       that fairy tales have shaped our expectations of 
       disability, Disfigured will point the way toward a new 
       world where disability is no longer a punishment or 
       impediment but operates, instead, as a way of centering a 
       protagonist and helping them to cement their own place in 
       a story, and from there, the world. Through the book, 
       Leduc ruminates on the connections we make between fairy 
       tale archetypes - the beautiful princess, the glass 
       slipper, the maiden with long hair lost in the tower - and
       tries to make sense of them through a twenty-first-century
       disablist lens. From examinations of disability in tales 
       from the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen 
       through to modern interpretations ranging from Disney to 
       Angela Carter, and the fight for disabled representation 
       in today's media, Leduc connects the fight for disability 
       justice to the growth of modern, magical stories, and 
       argues for increased awareness and acceptance of that 
       which is other - helping us to see and celebrate the magic
       inherent in different bodies."--|cProvided by publisher 
520    Fairy tales shape how we see the world, so what happens 
       when you identify more with the Beast than Beauty? If 
       every disabled character is mocked and mistreated, how 
       does the Beast ever imagine a happily-ever-after? Amanda 
       Leduc looks at fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm to 
       Disney, showing us how they influence our expectations and
       behaviour and linking the quest for disability rights to 
       new kinds of stories that celebrate difference--back cover
