The Anti-Princess Series (Spanish: Colección antiprincesas) and Anti-Hero Series (Spanish: Colección antihéroes) are Argentine children's biography picture books written by Nadia Fink and illustrated by Pitu Saá. First published in 2015, the series cover the lives of South and Central American artists and leaders like Frida Kahlo, Violeta Parra, and Julio Cortázar. Fink sought to create works for children that addressed and subverted gender stereotypes, in opposition to narratives presented in traditional fairytales. The works are published in Spanish by Chirimbote, an independent publisher founded by Fink, Saá, and Martín Azcurra.
Books in the series have received positive reception for their depictions of their historical subjects, their artwork, and their efforts to weaken established gender roles. Some volumes have been translated into other languages, including Portuguese and English, and Fink and Saá have developed a third companion series, the League of Anti-Princesses (Spanish: Liga de antiprincesas), which features historical figures using time travel to help one another. As of 2023, 13 Anti-Princess, six Anti-Hero, and five League books had been released.
