This year, one of my favorite "conteuses", @christymarx.bsky.social, shared my blog for Women's History Month 2025. My new list of recs will be launched on 03/01/2026 and feature works by the likes of @kendareblake.bsky.social and @janeharrington.bsky.social. It's tricky choosing the right emojis♀️

#BookMail!! When I bought this copy of Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by @janeharrington.bsky.social , I planned to give it as a gift and buy the audiobook for myself. Which I still will do. But obviously I need my own print copy too because look at the gorgeousness!!! #fairytales #feminism

I've yet to order @janeharrington.bsky.social's fairy tale book, but I'm happy to see Persinette among the selected stories. Written by Charlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force, the French story inspired the Grimm Brothers' Rapunzel, @kateforsyth.bsky.social's Bitter Greens, and my 2016 blog post 💇🏼‍♀️

I am absolutely enthralled by @janeharrington.bsky.social’s book “Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance - The Forgotten Founding Mothers of the Fairy Tales and the Stories That They Spun.” A must read for anyone who enjoys fairy tales or women’s literary history.

You know what I LOVE? Local newspapers :) Thank you, thank you, Lexington News-Gazette!

Two years ago, @laurenjabear.bsky.social wrote Medusa's Sisters🐍🐍🐍, one of my favorite books. Now, I finally have my very own snake wig, wearing it to teach my class the classic stories and take fun selfies. Also can't wait to read @janeharrington.bsky.social's fairy tale book📘. Yes to human makers.

An early birthday present that will arrive after my birthday when I have more time to read! You can also support your local independent bookseller by using bookshop.org & if you place your pre-order today, they're waiving shipping fees. (that's the way I chose, but b&n might be more economical.)

For friends out there who might like to buy my new book, Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance (August 19 pub date), Barnes & Noble is offering 25% off until July 11 on preorders. Use code PREORDER25 at checkout. Works for all preorders, not just for this book :)

Just read the book 2025 needs - Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance by Jane Harrington. Despite my love of fairy tales and studying children's literature for a while, I never knew the true origins of fairy tales in 17th century and the conteuses/female storytellers behind them. .

HELP! more books for my hazardous TBR pile #sobs #booksky #fairytales #books #womenshistorymonth

Watching #WomenInHistory at #LJDayOfDialog. Particularly interested in @janeharrington.bsky.social's Women of the Fairy Tale Resistance.

Our fifth 2025 Hachette Library Team pick is WOMEN OF THE FAIRY TALE RESISTANCE! In 17th century Paris, a group of women who called themselves conteuses (female storytellers) came together to weave the very first fairy tales! Explore their stories with this great read!
