Growing up, I read a lot of fairytales. I am sure that is the case with most people. At the time, I loved them. But now I cannot help but notice something about mothers and step-mothers in these stories.

Think of some fairytales. Now think about the mothers in them. Did you notice it? The mothers in fairytales are either evil or dead. Usually, biological mothers are dead and stepmothers are evil. Why is that? And what is up with all of the kids in fairytales with no mother at all?!
