What fairy tales have evil stepmothers?
I have to write a paper on stepmothers in fairy tales and how that affects children and stepparents in real life. I can only find three fairy tales: Cinderella, Snow White, and Hansel and Gretel. I need at least two others

I can’t find any evil stepmothers, but there’s lots of evil witches & fairies, like the witch in Rapunzel & the bad fairy in Sleeping Beauty.
Hope you can find some. :)
“Little Brother and Little Sister” by the Gimm Brothers. The stepmother is a witch who chases the children away and turns the brother into a deer, so this one’s definitely unique.
