What We Think

Princess Academy is refreshingly non-woke by today’s standards, empowering but grounded, traditional, and focused on personal growth over ideology. It’s a fairytale that manages to be modern without hitting readers over the head with political messaging.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Princess Academy is focused on traditional storytelling and places character development and personal growth at its core. While it features a female protagonist, it doesn’t resort to the usual heavy-handed identity politics or checkbox casting that have become common today. The emphasis remains on character’s determination and wit rather than any specific group identity.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

This book generally portrays family, community, and tradition in a positive light. While it challenges some gender expectations, surprise, girls can be smart!, it does so within a classic fairytale structure without scorning masculinity or tradition. No aggressive revisionism present here, just some mild empowerment.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s a diversity of perspectives, including skepticism, tradition, and ambition. No one ideology dominates the story, and alternative viewpoints are treated with nuance. The socio-economic themes are there, but nothing in-your-face woke. Traditional roles and values are neither mocked nor caricatured.
