In Good Girls and Wicked Witches, Amy M. Davis re-examines the
notion that Disney heroines are rewarded for passivity. Davis
proceeds from the assumption that, in their representations of
femininity, Disney films both reflected and helped shape the
attitudes of the wider society, both at the time of their first
release and subsequently. Analyzing the construction of (mainly
human) female characters in the animated films of the Walt Disney
Studio between 1937 and 2001, she attempts to establish the extent
to which these characterizations were shaped by wider popular
stereotypes. Davis argues that it is within the most constructed of
all moving images of the female form the heroine of the animated
film that the most telling aspects of Woman as the subject of
Hollywood iconography and cultural ideas of American womanhood are
to be found."
