Last post, we discussed three super inspirational and hella woke non-Disney princesses. Now, get ready for our latest batch, featuring feminist princesses from St. Petersburg all the way to the magical Vale of Fairies (or, as Jacques would say, “The Vale of the Feh-rees“). Enjoy, kiddos!

Can we all take a second to appreciate what a survivor Thumbelina is?

She’s born into a world in which she’s an anomaly — and a tiny, squishable one at that. She gets kidnapped. She tries to go home, but keeps meeting creeps who try to take advantage of her person. She’s shamed and humiliated for the way that she looks, abandoned and left to die, and emotionally manipulated into marrying her gross old neighbor by the one female/mother figure she’s managed to find in the outside world.

Geez, right? Well, luckily for Thumbelina, goodness and kindness are always rewarded in the Disney and non-Disney princess universe, and so she ends up happily married to her fairy prince, Cornelius (whose somewhat geeky name can be forgiven by the fact that he’s such a cutie). Hurrah!

Anastasia

From: Anastasia

Products: Coat – Nordstrom | Boot – Famous Footwear | Locket – Etsy | Beanie – Pacsun | Dress – Boohoo | Scarf- Nordstrom | Glove – Amazon

On to our next lost princess (sensing a theme here?). Now, Anastasia may not the first tough orphan we’ve covered on College Fashion recently, but she sure is the first to be of royal breeding.

In the one and only adaptation of the Grand Duchess Anastasia’s life story suitable for children — AKA a totally falsified and unrealistically optimistic one — Anastasia is actually alive and well. And a total feminist icon in post-Imperialist Russia.
