AB This study analyzes how fairy tales have changed during the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. It compares landmark collections of fairy tales (Basile, Perrault, and Brothers Grim), to several post-World War II collections, from three different approaches: its relation to children, the presence or not of moral lessons in them, and the role of women and feminism in them. Most changes observed in contemporary fairy tales can be interpreted as a reaction against 19th-century censorship. The tendency of fairy tales now is to become elaborated, artistic creations, with these literary versions coexisting with simpler, more traditional tales aimed at children. While the role of women in fairy tales has greatly expanded, and has thus enriched them, the weight of morals in them is now reduced, something that could affect their strength and didactic value.
