Alguien | Sep 23, 2014 |    )1  iron_queen | Dec 30, 2008 | Orenstein takes one case in point, the story of a young woman visiting her grandmother and being eaten by a wolf. I loved reading the entire history of how the story was originally taken down, interpreted, and told. The author did a great job of putting all of the stories in context with the time in history. Should we view it as a cautionary tale about sex, men and women, walking alone, daudling, drinking? All of these evolutions of the story are examined and illustrated. Now I wonder about the path that other fairy tales have taken through time. (  ) kaelirenee | Jan 10, 2007 | This is an approachable, easy read that I do recommend to anyone curious about the history of this story.

In Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked Catherine Orenstein reveals for the first time the intricate sexual politics, moral ambiguities, and philosophical underpinnings of Red Riding Hood's epic journey to her grandmother's house--and how, from the nursery on, fairy tales influence our view of the world. Beginning with its first publication as a cautionary tale on the perils of seduction, written in reaction to the licentiousness of the court of Louis XIV, Orenstein traces the many lives the tale has lived since then, from its appearance in modern advertisements for cosmetics and automobiles, the inspiration it brought to poets such as Anne Sexton, and its starring role in pornographic films. In Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked, Red appears as seductress, hapless victim, riot grrrrl, femme fatale, and even she-wolf, as Orenstein shows how through centuries of different guises, the story has served as a barometer of social and sexual mores pertaining to women. Full of fascinating history, generous wit, and intelligent analysis, Little Red Riding Hood Uncloaked proves that the story of one young girl's trip through the woods continues to be one of our most compelling modern myths.

Oresntein abre nuestros ojos al poder que tienen los personajes que estas historias de nuestro inconsciente cultural y nos muestran cómo continuamos reciclando el cuento para reinterpretar nuestro género, identidad, sexualidad y violencia.
