I believe that certain stories such as the grimm brothers' Fitcher's Bird is a story that celebrates the heroine's ability and cleverness to escape the evil sorcerer/bluebeard rather than a tale of female disobedience. More than half of the story is spent on the third wife's clever deception, rescue and escape from bluebeard. The heroine is a deeper character, dedicated to family and she is rewarded with life, and punishes not only the evil sorcerer, but also his whole "crew". The bride in Fitcher's Bird creates the most complicated lies and seems to be the most intelligent of the bunch, but she is also the only bride not to receive a whole bunch of money in the end. The other brides who were more victims than heroines where rewarded for their pacifically by all of bluebeard's treasure. In Fitcher's Bird the bride is able to destroy more evil, but she is punished for her cleverness by not being monetarily rewarded. So, i think i've changed my mind, and that the story punished female disobedience, even though she did save the day.
