Ellen Moers was a smart lady who studied books and stories about monsters, magic, and scary stuff. She liked to think about how these stories could be about things that scared the people who wrote them, like death or illness. She also liked to think about how women were often treated in these stories, and how they could be made to be stronger and more powerful. Ellen Moers wrote a very famous book called "Literary Women" where she talked about all these things and more! Many people like to read her book and learn from her ideas.
