Cinderella complex
The Cinderella complex was first described by Colette Dowling, who wrote a book on women's fear of independence – an unconscious desire to be taken care of by others. The complex is said to become more apparent as a person grows older.
The complex is named after the fairy tale character Cinderella. It is based on the idea of femininity portrayed in that story, where a woman is beautiful, graceful, polite, supportive, hardworking, independent, and maligned by the females of her society, but she is not capable of changing her situations with her own actions and must be helped by an outside force, usually a male (i.e. the Prince).
==Criticism==
Feminist women can be taken aback to find that, after taking steps to extend their own autonomous presence in the world, they may still find themselves hankering for rescue/support from some ''external'' force〔Y. Inoue-Smith (2012) ''A Shadow of Mist''. University Press of America. ISBN 0761859063. p. 26〕 – still tempted into dependency.〔Judith Viorst (2010) ''Necessary Losses''. Simon and Schuster. ISBN 1439134863. p. 119〕 This phenomenon or syndrome becomes particularly significant with regard to the question of why women may choose to stay in dysfunctional relationships.
