Show Notes

Please welcome to the fireside Brittany (Bee) Eldridge (@BEldridg39), a doctoral candidate studying at University College London! Join us as we chat about the depictions of stepmothers in Disney's expansive corpus. 📽️ 

Bee breaks down the representations of the "other" mother in three core texts - Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Tangled (Rapunzel) - expanding on what these representations mean for consumers worldwide (yes, you too!). For more on Disney Studies, take a look @_DisNet on social media. And as always: stay curious, stay cozy.
