Rejected Princesses is the kind of site that will make you feel capable of anything: it’s devoted to the real women throughout history who have been too tough, too strong, too badass, too clever, too free-spirited – fundamentally, too much for the prevailing powers – to ever be chosen to be Disney princesses. I love the idea, and I love the women Dreamworks effects animator Jason Porath chooses to feature in his series of illustrations on the site. Have a look at who makes the cut at rejectedprincesses.com – they are really quite something.
