Vickie, thank you for your comment! We do introduce the kids to real life women, both princesses and not. I was a history major so life stories are my favorite! I do have to say that a healthy mix of Disney and real is good for us. Right now the Disney Princesses are teaching us lessons and while yes, they are all gorgeous ladies, they do come from various backgrounds and teach different lessons. Between Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana and now Merida I think there are some examples of strong women who work hard, have big dreams beyond marriage and care deeply about their communities and their culture. It is all balance, and I am glad that it is working!
