In the New York Times article “Cinderella and Princess Culture,” Peggy Orenstein investigates princess culture in today’s society. Orenstein is a successful writer for the New York Times and has published a best-selling memoir. In her investigation into the growing phenomenon of princess culture, Orenstein discovered that large companies, such as Disney, turn a substantial profit by selling costumes, dolls, and various princess themed must-haves. She argues that the princess hysteria sweeping the nation is not teaching kids life lessons, but rather further stereotyping little girls. Orenstein is a feminist herself as well as a mother.
Altering her identity so she can go to the ball is something that changed and improved the protagonist's life.

It seems that Fiona is frustrated that the princesses instinctively dropped to their typical position based on their fairytales, when clearly that is the most hopeless thing they could do for themselves. Then the queen stands up for Fiona and head-butts the brick wall, busting it down, freeing the trapped princesses. Fiona responds, “Okay girls, from here on out, we’re gonna take care of business ourselves” (Price 95). This then leads to the princesses combating the guards outside the Castle Gardens. The princesses are portrayed in a way that have not been seen before.
Similarly, in Walt Disney’s “Cinderella,” she is also treated horribly, and awarded a beautiful outfit by her fairy godmother, letting her attend a ball, encountering her true love.

When the author's daughter notices a girl with a Cinderella backpack, the daughter starts to ask her mother countless questions about the princess on the backpack, as well as all the princess merchandise in the store. The author starts think that, the reason she's probably asking her so many questions is because the daughter is starting to think that she doesn't want her to be a girl. The author goes on to explaining even thought media over promotes that girls should be princesses, studies show that girls still find satisfaction in torturing their Barbie’s and cutting off all of their hair.
