FEATURED ITEM FOR NATIONAL PRINCESS DAY

If you’re looking for a damsel in distress, you’ve come to the wrong place. It is pretty safe to say that most little girls have dreamed of being a princess at one point or another. They wear beautiful dresses, have luxurious long hair, and they always seem to find their prince charming. What’s not to love?

However, there is more to being a princess than meets the eye. In addition to being beautiful and graceful, princesses are also brave and strong. They stand up for what they believe in, even when it means going against the grain. So, the next time you’re feeling like a real-life princess, remember that it takes more than just a pretty face to make a difference in the world.

NATIONAL PRINCESS DAY:  A BRIEF HISTORY OF PRINCESSES

In ancient Greece, princesses were often married off to powerful men in order to create political alliances. This meant that they had very little say in who they married and often ended up in unhappy relationships.  In medieval Europe, princesses were used as currency to seal deals between kingdoms. This led to many young girls being forced into loveless marriages with much older men.  In some cultures, princesses were not even allowed to leave their homes or meet other people. They were kept locked away for their own safety and supposed virtue.
