Over the seven jeweled hills, beyond the seventh wall, in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, dwells Snow White, fairest one of all.

Despite poor commentaries throughout the years that seem to be based on prior critiques rather than the actual substance of the original 1937 Princess, Snow White is a very admirable character and has a myriad of positive qualities that make for a great role model. Apart from coping with losing both of her parents at a very young age and being, not only abused by her only parental figure left but also, forced into slavery- by someone who practices magic, no less, someone she had no chance against- Snow White also has a business intelligence. She never, ever expects the dwarfs to take her in out of the goodness of their hearts and just naively depend on the kindness of strangers, nor does she wait for her Prince to save her while she’s stranded in the middle of the woods without food and shelter. 
Actively seeking out a place of refuge, she finds the empty cottage and quickly decides to work for her stay. She identifies a gap she can fill, and applies the skills of cooking and cleaning she’s mastered- not because they’re traditionally feminine activities and this movie is trying to turn back feminism, but because it’s the only trade she knew as a result of being forced into servitude from childhood by another woman- to an environment that’s in dire need of these abilities. With this, she barters an exchange for room and board and convinces a roomful of seven men, who start off not liking her and ascribing their own misogynistic views onto her, in mere minutes to accept her as their equal, as someone who they’re not simply taking pity on and allowing to stay with them, but as a contributing member who earns her keep just as the rest of the house does and is just as worthy of respect. What’s more, Snow White manages to accomplish all this and improve the quality of her life drastically in exchange for the same services she would have been doing anyway if she never left Queen Grimhilde’s castle.
So, in conclusion: by escaping her abusive household and conquering her fear in the forest, Snow White picks herself back up on her feet- after she’s nearly the victim of a homicide- and goes out into the world. She creates a new life for herself by finding a home and shelter, and quantifying her marketable skills to gain effective employment. She never throws around her status as a Princess nor does she expect a pity handout from others. She literally crafts a position for herself that makes her just as worthy of inhabiting the cottage as the Dwarfs by merit of her own hard work and skill- not her beauty, or her privilege, or her birth right as a Princess- and gains their respect, while still being comfortable asserting herself when they try to test her or disregard her authority as their equal. Through her insurmountable ability to rise above her circumstances, her sheer survival skills, and the fact that she literally creates a job for herself to sustain her livelihood, Snow White is a modern woman.

So beautiful, even in death, that the dwarfs could not find it in their hearts to bury her. They fashioned a coffin of glass and gold, and kept eternal vigil at her side. The Prince, who had searched far and wide, heard of the maiden who slept in the glass coffin.

ADRIANA CASELOTTI remembers 1935 as if it were yesterday. In fact, when she closes her eyes, she can picture herself, more than 50 years ago, saving the day for Walt Disney. The Hollywood wunderkind was working on his first full-length animated motion picture, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” and was in need of a leading lady. He combed various music studios and was prompted by a newspaper ad to place a call to Guido Caselotti, Adriana’s father. “Do you have a student who sounds like a little girl when she speaks and sings but also has some operatic training?” one of Walt’s men asked. “We want someone who can handle high notes and coloratura.” Horning in on the line, Adriana blurted out, “I can do it. I can talk like a little girl. Please let me try.” Annoyed, the music teacher abruptly told his daughter to get off the phone. Nevertheless, when audition time came, 18-year-old Adriana was in line. She was the first of 150 potential Snow Whites. Reportedly, when Walt heard her speak (she was behind a curtain so he wouldn’t be swayed by any of the girls’ looks) he said, “That’s our Snow White.” 
Not a day goes by, the now-71-year-old Adriana says, when she doesn’t sing Snow’s theme, “I’m Wishing.” Amazingly, she sounds the same as she did five decades ago. The secret, she says, “is to imagine that I’m 24 and it all comes back. It comes out just like I was 24. You see me with the lines and the gray hair, but I am not that age...I never think that way.”
Though she is now one of Snow White’s biggest fans (living in a house complete with wishing well and Disneyana), she wasn’t the biggest fan of her treatment back in the ‘30s. Since he didn’t want people to know who did the voices for “Snow White,” Disney did not give Adriana or any of the others screen credit. Further, he didn’t even invite her to the premiere. Instead, they showed up at the door. "The girl at the door said, ‘May I have your tickets, please.’ I said, ‘Tickets? What tickets?’ She said, ‘You have to have tickets.’ I said, ‘No. I’m Snow White and this is Prince Charming.’ ‘I don’t care if you’re the Witch,’ the usher said. ‘You can’t get in without a ticket.” The two slipped into the theater when on one was looking. They quickly moved to the theater’s balcony and waited a half hour until two people left their seats to go to the bathroom. “I was so excited,” Adriana recalls with a broad smile. “I saw Carole Lombard there. I knew other movie stars were there, but she was the only one I saw. Every time they clapped, I felt they were clapping for me.”
She can delight in the letters she continues to get from film goers, who tell her what seeing “Snow White” had meant to them, such as the man who wrote that he has seen it 136 times, and the children who come to the door of her Los Angeles home to hear her speak in the Snow White voice. Or memories such as her 1944 visit to a Lima, Ohio, school where, after singing and talking in that voice, a 6-year-old student loudly said “Snow White.” Teachers and fellow students rushed over to hug the girl because, as Caselotti learned, those words were the first the girl had spoken in two years. “I don’t care if I made a dollar or $2 million doing the film. I was part of one of the greatest movies ever made. No one can ever take that away from me.”
