Little Red Ridding Hood

Little Red has been recycled in many cultures since the late 1600's. I know, fairy tales are old AND still relevant. It is this ability to recognize and reuse those recognizable motifs that make fairy tales so compelling as story telling agents. Little Red is no exception. Just a couple of years ago the Red Ridding Hood movie came out that depicted Little Red in a much more feminist and non traditional woman. There has also been significant scholarship on the progressive feminist actions of Little Red throughout history (Zipes). Today this came across my facebook feed and gives a wonderful (albeit brief) historical account of Red and provides a new iteration.
