초록
This study analyzes the newly empowered heroines in girls’ literature who reinterpret the relational aggression of mean girls and (don’t) become princesses. Relational aggression, also referred to as indirect or alternative aggression, has been believed as one of the essential natures of femininity. According to recent research, however, it is rather a complex outcome of patriarchal pressure to prevent women’s aggressive self-expression, and media exaggeration to categorize girls as indirectly mean. Rewriting the old princess narratives where beautiful and obedient girls meet happily-ever-after endings, the girl heroines such as Sara in A Little Princess (1905), Ella in Ella Enchanted (1997), and Miri in Princess Academy (2005) challenge the passive stereotypes of women with not only self-definition but also solidarity with others. Since their own storytelling has the potential to reestablish social networks around them, they manage to resolve the relational aggression of antagonistic mean girls, and choose to become not just princesses but independent heroines/subjects.
