Concept information

Preferred term

mothers in fairy tales  

Definition(s)

  • Fairy tales represent the full range of loving and caring mothers, from those who protect, nurture, and sacrifice themselves for their children, to those acting carelessly, irritably, or with favoritism. They usually teach morality and life lessons, although at times the mother sets herself up as a rival beauty to her daughter. [Source: Encyclopedia of Motherhood; Fairy Tales, Mothers in]
