Abstract

Objective: To examine the references to Cinderella in medical literature. Design: Analysis of papers published in the past 50 years that mention Cinderella. Results: The trend for use of Cinderella as a metaphor in medical publications is increasing exponentially. Five separate themes emerged: neglect, identity, transformation, exhaustion, and the mixed metaphor. Conclusions: The medical use of the Cinderella fable is growing in popularity.
