Although the article contains evidence to support her claim, Orenstein is unsuccessful because of the use of her biases and opinions placed throughout the article, that expresses her own negative views toward princesses and the feministic reinforcements she makes on her own daughter.…

Madame de Beaumont not only shows that looks make a woman happy but character, virtue, and kindness…
