The prince who climbed up Rapunzel’s hair Saved her from the witch’s lair; The beast who did his moral duty Became a prince and married Beauty. The hunters who rescued Red Riding Hood Shot and got rid of the wolf for good. The seven dwarfs who saved Snow White’s life Walked her down the aisle to be a prince’s wife. ************** The heroes all are men in these old beloved fables But we feminists have no wish to turn the tables. Heroes are heroes regardless of gender And every girl is grateful to the heroes who defend her.
