The Truly Brave Princesses

Princess Nin is a firefighter, Princess Gilda is a supermarket cashier, Princess Agnes is retired, and Princess Liang is in a wheelchair. This catalog of princesses gives visibility to a lot of women who do not fit with the traditional conception of a princess. Maybe it's time to realize that each and every one of us could be a princess.

Dolores Brown thinks that society speaks too often of the "perfect" princess, when in reality, few women actually resemble that traditional idea. Instead, Dolores tries to change the concept in order to make other princesses —the truly brave princesses— relevant to the world.

"This is the book that allowed us to talk about our mission before we had a website, before we had anything concrete -as it embodies our goals of diversity, equity and inclusion. We love the beauty of the message and the illustrations.  A staff favorite" . Helen H. Stories Like Me.
