Sumario:Chapter 2 of the book "Women & Children First: Spanish Writers & the Fairy Tale Tradition" is presented. It discusses the feminist fairy tales of Carmen Martin Gaite. She creates independent, female characters who question the established social order. "La princesa, los bombones y el concurso de aviones" imitates the formulaic plot of the fairy tale in which the princess must marry. The females in "Caperucita en Manhattan" love and help each other.
