鈥淏efore we even knew what the word 鈥榝eminist鈥� was, the titular character of Robert Munsch鈥檚 The Paper Bag Princess was there to inspire us to become one. Fierce, smart, and bold, Princess Elizabeth . . . [shows] girls everywhere that not all girls are damsels in distress鈥攑lenty of them are heroes, too.鈥�

[T]his morning I searched my mother鈥檚 basement for The Paper Bag Princess, and though my daughters are sixteen months old, that is where I will begin. I will read it to them and I hope over time that they will learn Princess Elizabeth鈥檚 lessons: Adventure and be fearless. Stand up to dragons. Defend yourself with all you have. Walk away from any man who treats you with disrespect. You, yourself, alone, are enough, and more than enough.
