THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF RETELLINGS: “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST” ACROSS THE FEMINIST WAVES Trabajo de Fin de Máster realizado por Virginia Domínguez Arquillué. Supervisado por la tutora Cristina Garrigós González. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Cristina Garrigós González, for her kind words and her wonderful comments and recommendations on this dissertation. Her guidance has been incredibly helpful not only for this work, but during my two years in this Master. I would also like to thank Maite Escudero and Mónica Calvo, whose words, even in the distance, make me continue on the Academic path with hope and happiness. I owe to them my interest in Literature and the desire to achieve a career in this field, because they continue to inspire me with their passion and feminist ideas. Further, I would like to express my gratitude to the friends that have been there to support me during these difficult months. Nadia, my partner in crime, whose daily conversations have kept me afloat. The Common Room gals, for their recommendations on books to analyse, and for the immense reading list they have created for my summer with all other types of books. The Loafing Lounge, for keeping me smiling all days, even the hard ones; thank you Lucy for considering me for being part of this group. And finally, I am thankful for the two most important people in my life: my mother, who has contributed to this thesis not only sending me the books I needed, but with her words of love and encouragement; and lastly, my love, Enar, thank you for your jokes, your meals, your cuddles, and everything else that cannot be described with words.
