Margaret Atwoods Fairy-Tale Sexual Politicsby Sharon Rose WilsonSharon Rose Wilsons analysis of Margaret Atwoods sexual politics through a study of fairy-tale patterns offers a new reading of Atwood and a fresh appreciation of the traditional fairy tales ability to illuminate modern literature. Not only is this the first study to explore systematically Atwoods fiction and poetry through fairy-tale images, but also it occasions the first time Atwood has allowed examples of her artwork to be published in a book. In relating Atwoods fragile, mysterious paintings, collages, linocuts, drawings, and cartoons to her writing, this study shows how such fairy-tale images-along with myths, the Bible, history, film, art, and popular literature-reveal archetypes in her work. The engaging writing and the eerie visual art of Margaret Atwood braid together fairy-tale themes from Grimm and Andersen with the feminist concerns for which this internationally acclaimed Canadian author is well known. In The Handmaids Tale, for example, she presents her version of Little Red Riding Hood facing patriarchys wolf. In almost all her novels she explores the Rapunzel Syndrome, in which women experience internalized isolation. In joining Atwoods literature and her artwork, Wilson challenges feminist assumptions that fairy tales limit gender roles. To the contrary, fairy-tale motifs in Atwoods works are a liberating force. Indeed, Wilson discloses how the genius of this fascinating writer perceives the fairy tale to be a means of transforming the constricting images that tradition has placed upon sexual identity. Sharon Rose Wilson is a professor of English and womens studies at the University of Northern Colorado.
