Work Overview
"There was once a little girl who was obstinate and inquisitive..." This is the opening of the fairytale "Frau Trude" (Grimm 43), an eventful yet very compact story of barely a page long. It ends sadly for the little girl, while the sinister Trude wins out in this tale. This hits a nerve with my experiences as a woman, grappling with social conditioning of compliance, politeness, sheltering. Burns Brightly celebrates the little girl who disobeys, and the witch, and every state of being in between. It is a blossoming of the self despite pressures to conform to external expectations.
