Fairy Tales and Their Contribution to the Process of Constructing Gender Roles

As it is widely known that fairy tale reflects the basic characteristics of a culture. Beside their functions such as preparing children for sleeping, to improve their imaginary, and guiding for the appropriate attitudes and behaviors; they have a critical role in the process of transferring basic rules and norms of the society to the next generations. In this paper, I would like to propose a study examining how fairy tales contribute to the process of constructing and transferring gender roles. More specifically, this proposed question aims to investigate the decisiveness of narrators of the fairy tales in the process of transferring gender roles. This question is worth studying and needs scientific attention since the survival of the fairy tale depends on social acceptance. In other words fairy tales are needed to be reproduced according to the needs of the society in that specific period. Additionally, examining reproduction process is critical to understand how gender roles are constructed and transferred. The hypotheses of this study examine decisiveness of women as the narrators of the fairy tales in the process of transferring gender roles.
