Krátky popis
Barbie is a strong, independent doll. But is she a feminist icon?
It’s complicated. Since her introduction in 1959, Barbie’s impact
has been revolutionary. Far from being a toy designed by men to
oppress women, she was a toy invented by women to teach women what
was expected of them, for better or for worse. Whether
tarred-and-glittered as antifeminist puffery or celebrated as a
feminist icon (or, at any rate, an important cultural touchstone in
understanding feminism) Barbie has undeniably influenced
generations of girls. In Forever Barbie, cultural critic,
investigative journalist, and first-generation Barbie owner M. G.
Lord uncovers the surprising story behind Barbie’s smash success.
Revealing her low origins as “Bild Lilli,” a risqué doll for adults
sold as a gag gift in postwar Germany, Forever Barbie traces
Barbie’s development and transformation, through countless
makeovers and career changes, into an international pop culture
icon and now “traditional toy.” Though not every doll in the line
has been a hit?with pregnant Midge and Growing up Skipper among the
more intriguing disasters?Barbie’s endurance, Lord writes, speaks
as much to Mattel’s successful marketing as it does to our
society’s overall ambivalence toward femininity. With new
accessories, including a preface on the latest developments in the
Barbieverse, Forever Barbie “will make you think of America’s most
celebrated plastic doll in ways you never have before” (Susan
Faludi).
