Girl
On Her Own Horse
Have
you been paying attention to the evolution of the Cinderella story? If you’ve
watched the Disney blockbuster, Frozen, then you have. Young girls and women
are no longer waiting around for a man to come by on his horse, sweep them off
their feet, and give them shoes.
Okay,
I doubt any of us would turn down the shoes!
My
point is that women are now taking the reins of their own stories and rejecting
the Cinderella trope of changing themselves into someone new. In many, dare I
say most, of these stories the prince doesn’t pay attention to the Cinderella
character in her ordinary world of working 9-5pm with grime under her nails and
threadbare clothes. He doesn’t look her way until she gets magicked into
expertly applied makeup, a binding, shape-shifting corset, and brand new shoes.
My
first notice of this was in the film Working Girl. This 80’s retelling of the
Cinderella story featured a bright secretary who had dreams of entering the
boardroom with a briefcase instead of coffee. When her wicked boss steals her
idea, the secretary seizes an opportunity to steal into a high profile business
meeting by pretending that she’s her boss, while also wearing her boss’s dress
and shoes. Melanie Griffith, as the secretary, uses Harrison Ford’s charming
character to get her into the board room’s door. When the business deal goes
south, Griffith doesn’t wait for the knight in a business suite to rescue her.
Instead, she shows off her ‘head for business and bod for sin’ in order to win
a business deal, thwart her boss, and get her man.
A
decade later Drew Barrymore retold the Cinderella story in Ever After. In a
pivotal scene when Barrymore’s character, Danielle, has been taken prisoner by
the evil Pierre Le Pieu, the audience holds their breath as the prince leaps onto
his horse and heads off to rescue her. But Danielle picks up not one, but two
swords, and swashbuckles her way to an escape. As she’s walking out of the
castle a free woman, the prince arrives moments too late with her shoe in hand.
Nearly
another decade later came another retelling with Penelope. Penelope is an
heiress born under a curse that can only be broken in the face of true love.
The problem? Penelope’s face doesn’t inspire sonnets and poems as much as it
does a hankering for breakfast meats. Penelope’s snout nose has caused her to
be rejected her whole life, including rejection from her own mother. When she
finally finds a man willing to tolerate her looks and break the curse, she
comes to the realization that she likes herself just the way she is. And just
like that, the curse is broken and Penelope’s outside matches her glowing
inside.
In
today’s stories, women don’t wait around for men on horses. They take the
reins, defend themselves, and declare love to their own reflections. They’re
now even qualified to deliver true love’s kiss to their own sisters as we saw
in the blockbuster Frozen.
In
my fairytale retelling, Pumpkin: a Cindermama story my heroine has given up on
fairytale love. Single mother Malika “Pumpkin” Tavares lost faith in fairytales
after she fell for a toad. Town royalty Armand “Manny” Charmayne has been
searching for his soulmate all his life, whom he’ll recognize at first sight by
a golden aura, that only he can see, surrounding her person. Manny doesn’t see
gold when he meets Pumpkin, but the more he gets to know her the more he
considers defying fate, if only he can convince her to take a chance on love
again.
