Snow White? Snow White is adopted by a stepmother who believes the domestic arts to be the best training for girls. Snow White rebels and leaves home in pursuit of higher education. She is offered a home and friendship by a group of male dwarf students in return for "light domestic duties." Snow White studies at university in her “spare time." She suffers a breakdown as a result of overwork. A Graduate Prince with high regard for her fortitude and sympathy for her desire of higher learning offers her full liberation with himself as a "professional” husband. She is quickly disillusioned when she realises she is considered an expensive treasure and an interference to his career. Two children are bom and Snow White faces a life of domesticity, or a return to the stepmother who will care for the children while Snow White provides for them with her career.— Yours, etc., ALSO DISILLUSIONED. February 25, 1971. [This correspondence is now closed.—Ed., “The Press.”]
