This is very interesting; thanks for posting it. It kind of makes you wonder though. This Amy Clarke person, does she have children of her own, any girls??? What did she read to them growing up? If she's so AGAINST the whole helpless woman being rescued bit, isn't that what most fairy tales are about??? HELLOOOOOOOO
Interesting! I like stories of women being rescued by the strong, good looking guy.
Most girls do feel that way. I think that's why this series is so popular.
I have to agree... no matter how hard-grained feminism may be into our society, the truth of the matter is, every (normal) girl out there wants to be "rescued" by her prince charming. :) Just another reason why i love Twilight and Stephenie Meyer...she doesn't hide behind these stereotypes that everyone tries to create.
feminism smeminism.
I'm Amy Clarke and I was completely misrepresented first by the reporter for the Washington Post and then by Leonard Sax. If you really want to know what I think about the books, you can read my comments at schoollibraryjournal.com. Just goes to show that you can't trust everything you read in the newspaper.
