In this episode, we're tracing Cinderella from her ancient, ash-covered origins in global oral folklore to her bejeweled transformation through centuries of retellings. We'll explore how her story evolved across cultures, how Disney’s 1950 film rescued the studio from financial ruin, and how the Cinderella archetype continues to reinvent itself in modern media and pop culture.
