As season 1 continues to explore the history and psychology of our favorite fairy tale princesses, it's time to go from rags to riches with Cinderella. What’s her story? Where did she come from, and where has she taken us? Research into her historical, psychological and mythological context is the name of the game.
Delve into the damsels that developed our psyches. A pinch of history, a dollop of psychology, and a sprinkle of fairy dust. And, of course, jokes.
