‘Courageous Queens’ is the New Book Flipping Fairy Tales on their Heads

You may have heard of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls or Angela Buckingham‘s Powerful Princesses.

Angela has just released a follow-up called Courageous Queens – 10 stories of clever and brave monarchs that have mostly remained untold.

“As a kid, I loved fairy tales. But the queen always has a poison apple, she’s always looking in the mirror, by definition she’s an evil stepmother,” Angela said.

“There aren’t many positive role models of women in power in those traditional fairy tales.”

Angela is changing that narrative.

Courageous Queens is available now. Find out more about Angela Buckingham’s work and listen to the full chat with Ally Barnes on Hope Breakfast in the player above.
