The objective of this work is to verify which are the female representations in the works of female authors written for adolescents, taking into account that the classic fairy tales portray princesses as fragilized victims.For that, we analyze the literary work Cinderela Pop by Paula Pimenta (2015) and O enigma da Adormecida by Simone Marques (2015).The first literary work is one of the best-selling authors of the day among teenagers, the second is not so well known, but it is part of a rising trend, as it is a fantastic saga.In the analysis we verified that both the new Cinderella and the new Sleeping Beauty still have characteristics of fragility, incoherent with the feminine representations of the 21st century.Thus, the paper presents reflections on the role of reading mediation in the sense of problematizing and reflecting critically on the representations in these literary works.
