You've probably stood next to a princess without even realizing it. We're surrounded by them. We just don't realize it because they don't always wear their crowns.   When we think of princesses, we imagine castles and fairy tales, princes and dragons, but not all princesses belong to the realm of fantasy. There are princesses all around us. Princesses who pursue their dreams, live love stories, don't need to look like anyone... Modern-day princesses. You surely know one; perhaps the cashier at the supermarket, your classmate, or your mother, your grandmother, or even you! A celebration of smart, courageous modern princesses, of different ages, interests, and professions who aren’t waiting around to be rescued.
