"The brothers claimed they’d collected the tales from the old wives living in the villages surrounding Kassel, suggesting that they were preserving a German folklore and storytelling tradition ... But the Grimms may well have blushed to tell the truth: they didn’t collect their stories from elderly women with dark voices and keen eyes, living in the remote wilds of the Black Forest. They got them while flirting." https://psyche.co/ideas/young-women-were-the-true-originators-of-the-grimms-tales

"In 1950s America, for a woman to live a bohemian life... was a move of tremendous bravery. And if we celebrate the Beats for their... questioning of societal norms, weren't the women of that movement the boldest of all?"
Excellent BBC radio story on women of the Beat movement. CW for gender stereotyping, reproductive issues, misogyny, and discussion of su*cide.
