It’s a Barbie World: The Reclamation (Part 3)

Come on, Barbie, let's go party! The final part of the Barbie series is HERE!

Welcome to the conclusion of our Barbie series, where we delve into the complexities of everyone's favourite doll! In our previous instalments, we explored the criticisms levelled against Barbie, particularly focusing on the third and fourth waves of feminism and their impact on attitudes towards Barbie. In this episode, we shift gears to examine the resurgence of Barbie's popularity and the significant influence of the 2023 movie release, which not only entertains but sparks essential conversations about gender, equity, and societal norms.

The movie became popular by connecting with a wide range of people. It looked at various aspects of our society in a fun and easy-to-understand way while also giving a new look to the classic Barbie style. This film gave us a new way to think about feminism and how roles for men and women have changed since Barbie first came out; however, while we are absolutely Barbie movie STANS, it’s our duty also to share the various other beliefs, views and opinions that we’ve come across, and offer our unsolicited opinions on whether we agree or disagree.
