A mix of modern-day commentary and clever subversions of the originals, Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling reclaims the storytelling from the guys and gives the heroes (not just the Little Mermaid!) back their voices. --Caitlin Kunkel, co-author of New Erotica for Feminists Laura Lane and Ellen Haun nail it with this witty and remarkable book that smartly reminds women to be the heroes of their own stories rather than wait around for saving. --Jenny Mollen, New York Times bestselling author of I Like You Just The Way I Am FINALLY, a hilarious, refreshing, and modern retelling of our favorite fairy tales featuring realistic and relatable female characters that, blessedly, wasn't written by a couple of old white dudes. Because the Brothers Grimm were for sure a couple of old white dudes. --Laura Wilcox, author of I Am Bride The Brothers Grimm have nothing on Laura Lane and Ellen Haun. From a woke Sleeping Beauty to a Red Riding Hood fighting wolf-calls, here's a book of fairy tales not for your children but for your hilarious girlfriends. It's perfect reading for every feminist who longs for a happy ending. --Jennifer Wright, author of It Ended Badly A witty and much-needed fairy tale reboot. Makes you think about what we've been teaching our children! --Jo Firestone, comedian Sleeping Beauty stays woke in an uproarious, insightful collection that doesn't let the Bros Grimm get the final word on happily ever after. --Matt Sullivan, In Touch Weekly For any little girl obsessed with princesses and/or fairy tales who grew up to realize how creepy and backwards they actually were--this book is for YOU. Can't. Stop. Laughing. --Sarah Merrill, host of the Big Kid Problems podcast Intelligent commentary is truly remarkable. Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling is a collection of stories that is equally hilarious as it is important. --Evan Real, The Hollywood Reporter Why did we let dudes write stories about women for so long? They put us in towers, made us clean houses, and made us very sleepy! Ellen and Laura are finally making it right! --Lauren Adams, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
