Snow White depicts the life of a young girl who runs away from her evil stepmother and finds refuge in a small cottage where she meets seven dwarfs that will do anything in their power to rescue here from danger. Unfortunately Snow falls into the wicked trap set up by her stepmother and eats the tainted apple only to be rescued by her princess.
Snow white very much represented as the archetypical woman of the 1930s- demonstrated through her attire. She is wearing a dress which was common for everyday women and unlike Giselle is not glamorised but appealed to normal women at the time. This film was created before the Second World War therefore the change in the definition of femininity was completely different. Despite the Dwarfs being physically impaired it is they who rescue snow white, proving that a women will always need a man to save her even if she is physically more able.
