A Feminist Fairy Tale, would it work?

In my story version of Cinderella; takes place in a 17th century country that was under Patriarchal Puritanism, they weeded out all Catholics and Pagans and destroyed statues of the Virgin Mary and the Goddess. And here is were the Cinderella character comes along, her mother died giving birth to her while under the statue of the Virgin Mother/Goddess in some sort of graveyard. Her Father married again to an unkind woman with 2 self-righteous daughters, and the Father soon died from an illness, and the Stepmother remarried again to a harsh Calvinist. The women of this time were looked down upon, they were expected to follow their Husbands/Father's guidance and advice. Cinderella was headstrong and rebellious, which only angered her stepfamily, they would beat her until her back was bloody. The step-family then threatened her that if she does marry a man they choose for her, they would send her to a brothel; and if she ran away, they would have her chased as a thief and whore. Cinderella ran towards the graveyard to cry, and she found the Virgin Mother/Goddess statue and wept underneath it. Until, a very ugly old woman dressed in black and in the company of owls and black cats appeared and frightened her. She thought she was a pagan witch, but the Pagan woman helped her in a fairy godmother way, but as the girl turned around to thank the Pagan woman, she saw the statue of the Virgin Mary/Goddess winked at her.
