I read that book too! I also took a Gender/Women's Literature course in college. In most European fairy tales women's sexuality is either repressed or exploited as helplessness by the patriarchy. In most tales it is a man's duty to rescue a woman from her own femininity, i.e. Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White.
