In “Cinderella and Princess Culture,” Peggy Orenstein compares girls lives to princesses. Society is stereotyping girls as princesses negatively impacting girls well being. As a result, Orenstein claims society should stop stereotyping girls as princesses and have parents limit the girl's exposure to them.

As I met her parents, the divine rulers of this land, BANG! Tragedy struck like an almighty hurricane. As I approached Emma's house from a distance I had begun to realize how insignificant I was compared to her family. Their house was absolutely marvelous; They lived in a prodigious mansion which was absolutely extravagant compared to the dump that I grew up in. A sparkling gold fence towered high like the Eifel tower and the path glistened as though it were the walkway to gods majestic temple. At the gates, stood strongly built men who had an extremely bellicose and obnoxious aura about them. As I etched closer, one of the guards aimed his gun at my face and questioned my presence. Loudly, he shouted "what is your business here filthy peasant? " I replied, "I am here to visit my beloved Emma." When I finally stepped inside the majestic palace that my beloved calls home, I was absolutely awestruck. As my beloved Emma led me down the endless halls of the palace, I felt a strong sense of euphoria.

As the door slammed shut behind me, a figure approached from the distance, I felt an intense sense of panic. As the figure drew closer, I realized who it was; he was the supreme ruler who would ultimately decide if my never ending love would last. Nervously, I muttered the words "good evening your majesty"

In the past, there have been countless princess movies or so-called “Cinderella” films. However, the general message that each one of these movies have given has changed as time has progressed. With this change, expectations placed on the princesses have been modified as well. This change in expectations has been thoroughly discussed by two authors, James Poniewozik and Peggy Orenstein. Poniewozik, a media and television critic for Time magazine, wrote an article entitled “The Princess Paradox” where he discusses this evolution of expectations. As well as him, Orenstein, a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, wrote an article with the title of “Cinderella and Princess Culture” where she also discusses the development of the expectations on girls. Even though Poniewozik and Orenstein discuss the evolution of expectations portrayed on girls, Orenstein is able to illuminate the more complex ideas that Poniewozik is attempting to express based on the expectations of girls.

In fairytales, royal women are typically regarded as delicate, sophisticated creatures, controlled by the kingdoms to which they belong. However, it is the strength within these women that is far more admirable than their outer appearance could ever be. This is why looking at royalty as perfection—a gift of beauty, wealth, and dignity—creates a widely known myth that hides the unattractive truth behind the royal life. Although you should always seek to look beyond the surface, “The Princess in the Suit of Leather” shows that upon deeper inspection you ultimately get hit with the harsh reality of conservative gender roles.
