Sea girl : feminist folktales from around the world  Cover Image Book Book

Sea girl : feminist folktales from around the world / Ethel Johnston Phelps ; introduction by Daniel José Older ; illustrated by Suki Boynton.

Phelps, Ethel Johnston, (author.). Older, Daniel José, (writer of introduction.). Boynton, Suki, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"The feminist folktales collected in Sea Girl upend any notion that women are doomed to be sentimental, meek, or submissive. In these classic tales, heroines unflinchingly wade monstrous rivers, escape ogres' nests, and outsmart desperate sharks and hungry tigers. And while defending their families and villages, they always determine their own fate." --Provided by publisher.
