Images of ‘persecuted heroines’in Ladybird fairy tales are transformed through fire interventions. Manipulating the narrative in different ways much like our ancestors’ voices have adapted and refined folk narratives through storytelling around the fire. Fire—a symbol of hearth and home, destruction, trial, purging, and purification— prompts contradictory and dramatic associations, which overlap the religious, secular and political. The flames reveal new tales, which critically explore and question the roles played by women.
