Sarah Strohmeyer looks at Barbie and asks some questions. Whether you enjoyed Barbies as a child or not, Strohmeyer's text will have you laughing out loud in a room full of strangers. Most of them are to do with the implausibility of Barbie, but what if she was real, what are some of the issues she'd have to face. Is Barbie a healthy or an unhealthy image and why don't we have healthy female imagery and Role-Models in our culture. A combination of feminism, politics, and plastic toys may sound odd, but Strohmeyer pulls it together in a very entertaining fashion (no pun intended).

I really enjoyed this look at Barbie and warping some of the ideas and issues that I've had with her. It's funny and irreverent and seriously I had "I'm a barbie girl" running through my head throughout. A really quick read, unfortunately the bile gets a bit much occasionally.

Sarah Strohmeyer looks at Barbie and asks some questions. Most of them are to do with the implausibility of Barbie, but what if she was real, what are some of the issues she'd have to face. Is Barbie a healthy or an unhealthy image and why don't we have healthy female imagery and Role-Models in our culture. These are the Barbies that would never exist, because they would disturb the corporate mentality of Mattel.

In some places it's overdone but you can imagine that Strohmeyer getting angry at Barbie and her images and deciding that she was going to make fun of her rather than just rant a little and feel impotent.

So your child has Dr. Barbie, Dentist Barbie, Anthropologist Barbie and Equestrian Barbie, but does she have PMS Barbie, and Junkie Barbie? Collecting her is great, but sometimes that perfect plastic body can get annoying and you dream about her being "one of us". Well, the author has put your imagination to words and pictures for everyone to enjoy! She keeps you laughing and saying "Now that's one doll I have to get!"
