Book Description
This book explores how extremist feminist thinking influences laws and policies that have dire consequences on real people's lives. Puncturing doctrine about men, power, and female sexuality, it asks why we remain oblivious to male pain. 20 years after it first appeared, The Princess at the Window returns as a 20th Anniversary edition. In a new Foreword, the author examines the hostile reaction to a 2016 documentary film about men's rights. Calling award-winning director Cassie Jaye "a shining example of how feminists ought to behave," she says the story of The Red Pill movie reveals how close minded, punitive, and tyrannical the women's movement has become. The dogmatism described within these pages has been gathering momentum. Students who were taught two decades ago that it was a good idea to banish Francisco Goya's Nude Maja from campus on sexual harassment grounds are today's professors and college administrators. Taxpayer funded institutions of higher learning have become breeding grounds for poisonous gender politics and aggressive intolerance. As this book makes clear, the warning bells have been ringing for a long time. From reviews of the first edition: "practically a primer for women and men who want to get past drawing lines in the sand and move toward real equality." - Edmonton Journal points out "how disturbing and, at the same time, how acceptable the rhetoric of radical feminists has become." - Montreal Gazette "What began as a struggle for equality and justice for women has been corrupted by power mongering and intolerance...This is not the way it was meant to be." - Globe and Mail "The book takes aim at the studies...government agencies use to 'prove' that Canadian men are engaged in a 'war against women.'" - Alberta Report "Several examples from current romance novels are given to illustrate that many are very explicit sexually and often portray themes of dominance and submission. Laframboise argues that many women enjoy reading these kinds of novels, but the feminist movement has failed to recognize this because of the assumption that only men would find this kind of sexuality appealing." - Journal of Sex Research "Her in-depth look at [women's romance novels] reveals a raw and raunchy depiction of sex as a power struggle in which women give as good - or better than they get." - Toronto Star "There's been negative feedback since this book came out...Laframboise has been ambushed on TV and radio programs, called an anti-feminist and a traitor; part of a backlash against the women's movement. During one interview, she found herself in the unusual position of being lectured by a man on how oppressed women have been historically." - Montreal Gazette "provocative" - Vancouver Sun "intense, thorough, and vigorously argued" - Toronto Star

Book Description
Ralph said, "Rain tomorrow." Burt said, "Barley needs it. You're covered with cinders, Ellis." Ralph thought that was funny. "That's funny." He laughed. "That's what we should call him-- Cinderellis." Burt guffawed. In this unusual spin on an old favorite, Cinderlla is a boy! He's Cinderellis, and he has two unfriendly brothers and no fairy godmother to help him out. Luckily, he does have magical powders, and he intends to use them to win the hand of his Princess Charming-- that is, Marigold. The only problem is-- Marigold thinks Cinderellis is a monster! Gail Carson Levine is the author of Ella Enchanted, a spirited retelling of the "real" Cinderella fairy tale and a 1998 Newberry Honor Book. In this fourth of her Princess Tales, Levine brings new life and new fun into a little-known tale and proves that determination, imagination, and kindness can carry the day.

Book Description
From a New York Times–bestselling author and Caldecott Medal-winning artist, this story of a royal race car driver is “a shot of gleeful adrenaline” (Publishers Weekly (starred review). Once upon a time there was a Princess. . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up? Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver’s seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fable and fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower. “The full-page illustrations are saturated with color and express the action so vividly readers will nearly hear the roar of the racetrack. The emphasis on the Princess’ racing skill and zeal for her sport is empowering and refreshing.” —Kirkus Reviews “With its breakneck speed and massive number of storybook references, The Princess and the Pit Stop is sure to be a story time favorite.” —Shelf Awareness

Book Description
A princess in a tower. A prince hidden at birth. Together, they'll tear down walls. The townspeople call her the Tower Princess, but Gressa's life is no fairy tale. She's never understood why she's been separated from the rest of the kingdom, but now that she's older the pieces are coming together. For too long she's been trapped in her brother's scheme to find a way through the magical wall dividing their kingdom in two. She doesn't expect any help from the prince to the south, even if he did manage to bumble his way to her rescue. If she could pick anyone to form an alliance, it would be the squire she watches train from her window; he shows promise. But, confined to her tower, there's nothing she can do...or is there? One day a hole opens up in the Dividing Wall and with it, a chance for Gressa to change everything. The Tower Princess is the first book in the Lost Fairy Tales series, a collection of loosely-connected stand-alone novels. If you like classic fairytale stories and sweet romance, then you'll love Gressa and Manny's desperate quest for rescuing their kingdom.
