[WOMEN'S DAY] What is Cinderella complex?

To celebrate International Women's Day, which falls on March 8th, Bababam is playing Do You Really Know episodes which look at the struggle against inequalities between women and men. All week long, discover ideas and concepts which promote female empowerment. What is Cinderella complex? Cinderella is perhaps the archetypal Disney princess, with her legacy living on generations after its cinema release in 1950. Indeed, American screenwriter Kay Cannon wrote and directed a romantic musical version of the old fairytale in autumn 2021. But poor Cinders has come in for slack from some quarters for being too dependent, and portraying an old-fashioned idea of femininity. In the 1980s, she even had a syndrome named after her. As part of our IWD 2022 celebrations, let’s consider how the Cinderella complex affects some women, and what can be done to continue progress in the area. Who theorised the Cinderella Complex then? What’s the link with Cinderella? Isn’t Cinderella an abuse victim though? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
