Must we sacrifice that in order to stand up for our rights to equality? How do you bond with something that looks like a taffy pull with a face?" writes LA Times journalist and feminist Patt Morrison. She was just a doll that didn’t always have one I connected to but did enjoy getting ones as gifts since family and friends thought I would like them. That being said I didn’t have a problem with Barbie in regards to my body image or what my limitations were set (others “helped” with that). I’m an example of a child who wasn’t much into Barbies, couldn’t always find a representation of me, but admittedly thought they were nicely dressed and could see the appeal for them. It was fascinating hearing about Barbies I hadn't heard about that had come out before I was born. The material seems nicely researched and showcases both pro and anti Barbie opinions and viewpoints from a variety of girls and women.
I’d definitely like to get a physical copy to look at the photos the print copy is supposed to contain. Possibly listening more than once would let more information settle into one’s brain.
You’re listening to her speak clearly about a topic you’re interested in, but your mind can’t help but wander elsewhere. It was pretty easy to zone out with the narrator as she’s very much like a teacher. A good overview of Barbie and her history.
