title: [Primordial structures of feminine maturation as reflected in fairy tales. Contribution to the anthropology of sexuality].
abstract: Two maturation fairy-tales with a high resonance effect are analysed. The method of interpretation was that of depth psychology, with observation of results of modern biological-anthropological research. The interpretation revealed 'hymenal' or retarding primary structures in the young female subject. These structures postpone the onset of sexual desires to the time after the defloration.
