Overview

When I was a little girl I wanted to be a princess. We all did right? 

The castles, the gowns, the prince, the magic—it all felt like a promise. A blueprint for how life might be for women and girls. 

But what happens when real life doesn’t follow the fairy tale? When the story doesn’t unfold quite as we thought it would. And what happens if we don’t want the same things anymore?
