Pertinent to idea number this-is-getting-ridiculous: does anyone have links or recs for pre-1923 tellings of fairy/folktales of non-European origin, especially those with female protagonists? Ideally translated to English without having been filtered through the European/USian lens, but I suspect I'm asking for the moon on a platter in the previous sentence and the sun and stars for a crown in this one. (Yes, I will be Project Gutenberging after I get home and finish my homework.)

Will I be fucking anything up if I femslash up those stories like I want to do forex Cinderella/Rapunzel, or should I stick to femslashing (and racebending) stories of European and white-American origin?
