Abstract

Grimm's Fairy Tales is a collection of folk tales collected in the 19th century by the Grimm brothers in the German states of Hesse and Westphalia. It reflects the unique aesthetic features of western culture and the low status of women at the same time. The Grimm brothers serve as a sounding board for gender awareness, and the book is full of princesses and princes, beauty and intelligence, which are both publicized and approved by the society. Grimm's Fairy Tales creates the most ideal female image in a patriarchal society. For children, who are important readers of fairy tales, fairy tales play an irreplaceable role in education. In the context of patriarchal society, Grimm's Fairy Tales also affects children's psychology, self-cognition and values.
