S1E9 - Cinderella: Glass Slippers & Ancestors

Cinderella is the fairy tale that, perhaps more than any other, sets our standard for how we expect a fairy tale to behave. But this story tells us more than what happens if you have some fancy shoes and a fairy godmother on your side. In this episode, let's explore the Cinderella of Charles Perrault as well as the Cinderella version of the Grimms—how these stories might give us hints of ancestral practices, and then how we equate shoes and lust with Ye Xian from China.
