Snow White, styled in her iconic Disney look, smiles as she holds a bird on her finger, with animation notes above the bird—a nostalgic nod to the artistry behind classic Disney Park experiences.

“Snow White is the perfect embodiment of 1930s culture,” says art historian Carmenita Higginbotham. In this original interview, Higginbotham explains how Walt Disney’s Snow White was a reflection of American women during the Great Depression.

“Walt Disney” the documentary about the man, not the company premieres September 14 & 15 at 9/8c on PBS American Experience.
