Emiliann Lorenzen interviews Ava Park, founder of the Museum of Woman. They discuss the feminist origins of fairy tales, mythology, and spirituality. Ava discusses the four phases of woman: maiden, mother, queen, and wise woman, which is the foundation of her course The Queen Teachings with Ava. They also discuss the new Cinderella (2021) film and the implications of recasting the Fairy Godmother as a “non-binary” man.
