on family dynamics and transformation into womanhood as a source of jealousy and competition by the stepmother/queen [65]. In the final resolution, the prince is seen as essential, leading Snow White to her destiny of wife and motherhood [65]. This story carries themes of feminism, parental loss, and resilience [36], impacting issues of motherhood. Further, this fairy tale focuses on the "alterations that occur within a woman as a result of her own experiences in the maternal role" [54], and the "journey of a maid embracing motherhood" [73]. In particular, Perez [76] highlights the change in Snow White from being a princess to keeping house for the dwarves, where she "fulfills the role of the working woman who is responsible for the tasks of reproductive life" [76]. Others have engaged a feminist lens in approaching fairy tales such as Snow White [60, 70], including links to experiences of trauma [63] and gender ideology [60].
