Ever After (1998)
For this episode, we're doing something a little different and discussing the heavily fictionalised past as represented through fairytales. Focusing on Ever After (1998), Abigail Fine and I talked about 90s Hollywood girl power, gender roles, and some of the nastier tropes these films use.
We mentioned:
A chapter by Christy Williams, called The Shoe Still Fits: Ever After and the Pursuit of a Feminist Cinderella
Marina Warner's work, specifically From The Beast To The Blonde
and some modern versions of Cinderella, including Megan Morrison's Disenchanted and Ash by Malinda Lo

Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.
