I want to set the record straight.

Everything youve heard about my stepmother is wrong. Okay, she did have a magic mirror of sorts, but that is about the only truth in the tale youve heard. For a start, she wasnt my stepmother, she was my mother. The victors write the history, or at least the ones with the pen do. My mother gets a bad rap because she stood up to some powerful people and those people were the ones who got to dictate the truth.

The story youve heard, or read, tells of a woman twisted by vanity who couldnt stand that her stepdaughter was more beautiful than she was. Such utter crap. Only a man could write something so asinine. Im pretty sure that men purposely pit women against women so that we can never unite because every man knows if women could come together, they wouldnt stand a chance against usbut I digress.

According to the history, my stepmothermotherwas so jealous of me that she commanded a huntsman to take me into the woods and kill me. Apparently, my stepmother wanted to eat my heart so she could become immortalinsert eye roll here. Of course the valiant man did not kill meinsert another eye roll herebut rather helped me to escape my evil stepmothers clutches.

If you havent guessed already, Im not exactly happy with the way things have turned out.

Lets not forget about the multiple attempts to kill meall blamed on my mother, of courseor the fact that a complete stranger stole my body while I was in a comayeah, well get to that. This entire story has been nothing but propaganda. A blatant attempt by a neighbouring king to marry me off to his son, take over my homeland, and dethrone my mother.

Well, Ive had enough. Im writing this down to document the truth. This is truth as I experienced itthe real truth. This is the full and unabridged tale of my own life. Me, Snow White, the Poisoned Princess.
