K. P. Meyer did some research in an online journal of Feminist Family Therapy to find out why female stereotypes are presented in Disney movies.

Sometimes‚ the lack of a mother figure in a woman’s childhood years can have a huge effect on what kind of woman she will become. It’s a proven fact that 67% of women who grow up without having a mother figure in their daily life‚ tend to mature into strong‚ self sufficient‚ and independent women (Sparks 321). In other words‚ women who grow up in stable households‚ complete with both mother and father figures‚ mature into being more so often then not‚ dependant women. These "dependant" women
