福利导在线观看 Professor of Art Carlee Bradbury recently spoke about the history and misconceptions of princess culture in an interview with the public radio program 鈥淲ith Good Reason.鈥� 

Bradbury, an art historian, spoke to show host Alison Quantz about a variety of topics that are prominent in the professor鈥檚 research into the princess realm, including the commonalities between Sleeping Beauty and real medieval princesses; the perceived dangers of spinning wheels; and books of hours, or prayer books for a princess.

Bradbury鈥檚 interview appears in the 鈥淲ith Good Reason鈥� show titled 鈥淚鈥檓 Just a Girl鈥� and is airing on the program鈥檚 affiliate stations through Friday, Oct. 10. The show also can be heard on the 鈥溾�� website or your favorite podcast app. 

Bradbury鈥檚 research focuses on the Middle Ages, concentrating on gender, book culture, textiles and monsters. In her conversation with Quantz, Bradbury said princess culture 鈥済oes way back,鈥� and explained that medieval princesses were far wiser than how they are often portrayed in modern storytelling. 

鈥淚f Sleeping Beauty, for example, had been more historically accurate, she would have been extremely savvy; she probably would have known how to spin on a spinning wheel,鈥� Bradbury explained. 鈥淪he probably would have approached the spinning wheel and said, 鈥楾his isn鈥檛 going to hurt me, Maleficent. Pick another day.鈥欌��
