《启发精选世界畅销绘本：纸袋公主》就是特别针对孩子之间性别平等教育的优佳教材。就我的目力范围而言，这应该是大陆出版的一本直接反映这类观念的童书。故事中公主和王子一开始就要“幸福地生活在一起”了，可是火龙却把王子掠走了，还把城堡烧得一干二净。公主只好穿上一个纸袋，然后勇敢地追赶火龙，要救出王子。公主用自己的机智打败了火龙。谁知王子却嫌公主衣衫褴褛，公主气坏了，骂王子是一个没用的家伙，然后扬长而去。这个故事颠覆了以往童话故事中的王子和公主形象。首先，公主表现得更加有智慧和力量，传统童话中都是公主等着王子的拯救，而这个童话却把两个角色彻底做了调换。其次，公主表现得更有主见，当王子责怪公主时，公主马上还以颜色，毫不犹豫地弃他而去。
Inspiring the best-selling picture book in the world, Paper Bag Princess is an excellent textbook specifically aimed at gender equality education for children. In beginning of the story, the princess and the prince are about to "live happily together" but the fire dragon snatches the prince away and burns the castle to the ground. The princess had to put on a paper bag, and bravely chase after the fire dragon to rescue the prince. The princess defeated the fire dragon with her wit. Unexpectedly, the prince felt that the princess looked ragged after all that she went through. The princess was so angry that she scolded the prince and then drove away. This story subverts the images of princes and princesses in fairy tales.
