'But these days fairy-tale endings come in all shapes and sizes. It’s okay for the princess to end up with the prince, it’s okay for her to end up with the footman, and it’s also okay for her to end up on her own. It’s okay for her to end up with another princess, or with six cats, or to decide she wants to be a prince. None of those make her any more or less a feminist. It’s about finding out who you are and what you want, and then being true to it.'
For our first book of the year I recommend The Cactus by Sarah Haywood. It tells the story of Susan, a control freak and a creature of habit who, entrenched in her routines and beliefs, finds herself having to adapt to change as life begins to throw her more than one curveball. I hope you enjoy it as you prepare for a new year of challenge and change. Here is the worksheet.
