☆ Opinion | How Barbie, the Doll and the Movie, Reflects Our Society

To the Editor:Re “Barbie Has Never Been a Great Symbol, but She’s an Excellent Mirror” (Opinion guest essay, July 22):Andi Zeisler’s essay was a walk down memory lane. As a feminist and a professor in a medical school with a young daughter in the 1980s, I was confronted with the dilemma of whether to buy a Barbie doll. Further, her pink high heels would have left this poor doll exhausted after a full day of conducting medical rounds and seeing patients. Perhaps this 1980s Dr. Barbie encapsulates the wish “to have it all”: a stereotyped image of ideal female beauty coupled with a traditionally male high-status job. Judith RichmanChicagoThe writer is professor emerita of psychiatry at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

☆ The ‘Barbie’ Movie Explains Why We Still Care About Barbie - The New York Times

She was more distant in my adulthood, as Barbie had become a subject of feminist concern. I followed many authors, artists, musicians and assorted culture jammers who were publicly working out their own Barbie issues in fascinating ways. However we feel about Barbie at a given moment says a lot more about us than it does about Barbie. Mattel’s litigious responses to things like the 1998 intersectional feminist body-image essay collection “Adios, Barbie” and Aqua’s gratingly ubiquitous earworm “Barbie Girl” didn’t help its P.R. It’s a fitting approach, since the most interesting thing about Barbie has always been our reactions to her.
