"Cinderella", known also as "The Little Glass Slipper", is a globally recognized folk tale. It portrays a young woman in dire straits who experiences a dramatic rise to fortune, ultimately marrying royalty. An early iteration of the Cinderella story is believed to be the tale of Rhodopis, a Greek slave girl who becomes the wife of Egypt's king. This story, documented by Strabo, dates back to between 7 BC and AD 23.
Adding a dramatic twist to the classic tale, Disney's 1950 adaptation of Cinderella featured a glass slipper that shatters before Cinderella can try it on. This left her with only the matching slipper to prove her identity, heightening the suspense.
In 1950, a departure from the traditional portrayal of Cinderella's stepsisters emerged. Some adaptations, including Ever After and two direct-to-video sequels to Walt Disney's Cinderella, introduced a slightly kinder stepsister who questioned their mother's treatment of Cinderella.
The theme of a kinder stepsister in Cinderella adaptations continued in 2013 with the Broadway musical, offering a more nuanced perspective on family dynamics.
