The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.
My friend & I think it’s Pocahontas, because her gender is never a point of discussion and her worth as a women is never questioned; she never has to prove herself. Also, she ends up choosing duty & her family over a man.
I hesistate to say Mulan because even during the scenes at the end where she’s coming up with a plan to ‘save china’ they’re playing ‘Be A Man’ in the background implying still that the importance in Mulan’s personal transformation was that she is being (stereotypically) manlier-- and they made fun of women being dainty and girly. Remember, being a feminist does not equate to hating feminine or girly things. It equates to eliminating gender stereotypes.
I think a princess that never has to challenge gender roles and can be seen as a strong person from the start regardless of gender is more ‘feminist’ than the princesses that challenge their gender roles. It's MORE FRIENDLY to gender roles of women AND expectations to treat women's equality as the NORM rather than having to prove it!
I would hesistate to say Tiana because in the end Tiana's importance in her dream is lessened because of Naveen; when she permanently becomes a frog she isn't even upset in the least, and in fact seems very happy to spend her life with Naveen. While yes, okay, she found true love, it's a trope seen done OVER and OVER with the princesses and heroines where a man is more important than their career, for their endgame [see: Captain Amelia, Esmeralda, Kida] so I would never put Tiana first.
jasmine, mulan and tiana would be my other choices...in no special order..
btw, great pictures! X3
What I /do/ like about Rapunzel is that she's the first princess do blackmail her prince/man and have some sort of power over him, and that her dreams aren't motivated by him, although that doesn't necessarily make her anti-feminist. What I /don't/ like is her reliance on him in both climactic moments of the movie-- leaving the tower, AND getting her hair cut off-- both are her moments of freedom and independence, and they're both moments reliant on a man. I don't want you to think I'm attacking Rapunzel purposely just because she's my least favorite.
I honestly think a lot of the movie/princess being feminist depends on endgame, that's why Captain Amelia is ruined for me as a feminist figure- WOW, she's so strong, and in a position of power, and people respect her...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand her end goal is being with a man. -_-

I didn't mention anyhting about Ariel...at least she does something and makes her own decisions, while Pocahontas always waits for someone (or something...like a compass) making the decisions for her.
I'm not sure Pocahontas relying on compass or the spirits really has anything to do with feminism.
Pocahontas was more fighting against the racism between the Europeans and the Natives, imo.
Tiana was more about the clash between rich and poor, lazy and hardworking. I didn't get any masculine vs. feminine vibes.
at one point i might have gone with tiana or merida but now i feel they're all the most feminist - feminism isn't just about not needing/waiting for a man, or proving yourself to men, or overturning systems that are unfair to women. it's about freedom and agency. In different ways they all have agency, even cinderella, and collectively they show all the different roads we can take.
Social equality of the sexes - Rapunzel and Eugene get pretty much equal screen time, Rapunzel is willing to sacrifice her freedom for Eugene's life, Eugene sacrifices his life for Rapunzel's freedom, they help each other throughout the course of the movie.
I don't see Mulan and Pocahontas are being feminist-friendly at all. Mulan doing things that boys are usually do, but it doesn't mean she's a feminist. She's more like a typical of tomboyish girl imo. And Pocahontas is more likely to be an activist rather than a feminist. As well as the other princesses.
But for fun I'll say Tiana because not only was that their obvious intention, she is allowed to be a number of things- feminine but not a female stereotype, loved and able to love in return, flawed, admirable, make mistakes and have a number of characters criticize those mistakes but still is presented as a respectable heroine (contrast this to Frozen's pseudo feminist moral that Anna needs punished for falling in love quickly with a guy because True Love Is Stupid, despite her mistake being no worse than what Elsa or a lot of heroines did). She's also never pitted against other women as superior- in fact, she has wonderful, strong relationships with her (living!!) mom and Lottie, who is also given a lot more depth than characters like her almost never are.
