ACTIVITY STALL: ALL WEEKEND

Gender Swapped Fairy Tales & Gender Swapped Greek Myths take the world’s most famous stories and gender swap them using a computer algorithm, turning 'he' to 'she’, ‘queen’ to ‘king’ and ‘hero’ to ‘heroine’. The books shine a light on the gender binaries in language, the roles we adopt and the stories we've been telling our children for generations.

 

Gender Swapped Fairy Tales has been published in 6 languages, received positive reviews in The Guardian, The Independent, Creative Review and even the Daily Mail and was chosen as WHSmith's and The Bookseller's Book of the Month.

 

"Under every rock, I found dozens of my own unconscious biases, wriggling like earwigs under the exposure” - Zoe Williams, The Guardian
