“There are a range of women not represented in the Western fairy tale tradition. Husband-beaters are particularly interesting, as well as male pederasts. Children are often told in The Arabian Nights, "This man likes to abduct boys, be careful of him." These issues are explored through the medium of the stories, but actually the architecture of the book is such that there are many examples of women who are loyal, brave, devoted - especially to their lovers.” MenWellsChildrenBookStoriesNightInterestingBoysIssuesExampleLoversHusbandTraditionBraveWesternMalesCarefulArchitectureLikesTalesMediumsRangeFairyBe CarefulFairy TaleLoyalDevotedArabianArabian Nights Author:Marina Warner

“The work that I've been trying to do with violence against women and children comes from seeing quite a bit of violence. I just think it's important that we try to help the young boys who are watching the fathers do it - because if it's OK for the fathers to do it, then these young boys are watching their dads and going, well, nothing's happening to them, so maybe this is OK. But actually, this violence needs to stop in the sandpits.” IfsThinkingNeedsTryingWellsChildrenImportantHelpingYoungFatherBitsBoysViolenceSeeingDadHappeningsViolence Against Women Author:Kelly LeBrock
