The Self-effacing and Compliant Sleeping Beauty The selfless and subservient nature expected of women in the past have impacted the writing or portrayal of females throughout literature.

That’s what happened to Princess Talia of Euphrasia in Alex Flinn’s, A Kiss In Time. Both the original Sleeping Beauty, by the Brothers Grimm, and A Kiss In Time have

stories, youth often equates to beauty; as old age does to a scornful, maybe even evil person.
