This is a testing page. I am learning to create a Wikipedia article to show students how easy it is to put up information on Wikipedia, and how easy it is to modify it. Students should question: Is Wikipedia a reputable source of information?

Feminist reception
Tension has been present between The Walt Disney Company and feminists ever since the release of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. The type of representations of women in Disney films reflect Walt Disney's personal feelings about family life, which in turn also shaped the Disney Company. Another influence was the fact that Disney's attitudes mirrored the patriarchal cultural beliefs of the 1940s about what roles women should play in society.[47]

On December 24, 2006, Peggy Orenstein published "What's Wrong With Cinderella?" in The New York Times. In her article, Orenstein discussed her concerns about the effects of princess figures on young girls. Orenstein used the Disney Princesses specifically to present many of her points. Orenstein also noted the pervasive nature of Princess merchandise and that every facet of play has its princess equivalent.[4] Tamara Weston of Time magazine criticized the franchise, referring to the princesses as "damsels in distress" and negative role models for young girls.[48] Anna Smith of The Guardian disliked that Disney princesses were typically drawn with slender figures and large eyes.[49] Other sources have also voiced concern that the franchise could possibly give young girls the wrong message.[50] However, other parents who have young daughters say that they would eventually grow out of this phase.[51] blah blah blah
