In Good Girls and Wicked Witches; Amy M. Davis re-examines the notion that Disney heroines are rewarded for passivity. Davis proceeds from the assumption that; in their representations of femininity; Disney films both reflected and helped shape the attitudes of the wider society; both at the time of their first release and subsequently. Analyzing the construction of (mainly human) female characters in the animated films of the Walt Disney Studio between 1937 and 2001; she attempts to establish the extent to which these characterizations were shaped by wider popular stereotypes. Davis argues that it is within the most constructed of all moving images of the female formmdash;the heroine of the animated filmmdash;that the most telling aspects of Woman as the subject of Hollywood iconography and cultural ideas of American womanhood are to be found.

I cant take this book into a classroom and use it with kids. Other than that; its a perfectly fine book..but all the songs could be found on the internet for free. I wouldnt buy this. Its just not that special.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Most songs are easy to play for a beginning ukulele player like myself ...By Lucinda N. PribMost songs are easy to play for a beginning ukulele player like myself and I really appreciate the ukulele chord dictionary in the back of the book. My grandchild loves when I sing and play songs for him. He grins from ear to ear; claps his hands and bounces up and bounces up and down to the rhythm.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Richard F Meachamfun single note book
