Description
Taking a performance-centered perspective on folklore, contributors to this volume challenge patriarchal assumptions of the past and rethink old topics from a feminist perspective while opening new areas of research.

This hallmark collection of feminist folklore will be a valuable resource for scholars and other interested readers.
