Abstract
This paper consists of three sections. The first section talks about introduction of the research. Section two deals with literature review of discourse analysis, gender and power. The last section deals with discussion and result of the paper. The findings suggested that school children gave conflicting accounts in relation to gender discourses and identities.
This paper sets out to investigate how children make sense of negotiate and non-traditional gender discourses promoted through the feminist version of the fairytale “Snow White”. Finally, it could be said there is a strong indication that girls of this age are more prepared than boys to challenge traditional gender discourses.
