Scheherazade's Sisters: Trickster Heroines and Their Stories in World Literature - Contributions in Women's Studies
Marilyn Jurich
Based on the author's discovery of a new folktale type, the female trickster, Jurich's book identifies and celebrates those female protagonists in folktales who use trickery to save themselves and others, to find new directions for their lives, and to declare their individual autonomies, especially in societies that diminish and oppress women.
