  inspired by this desire amongst girls for aconfident female role model. Handler probably didn'texpect the hostile reaction her doll initially receivedfrom the American public. Because Barbie hadbreasts she was accused of giving young girls a negative body image and making themobsessed with their looks.

  Those in the anti-Barbie camp say that if Barbie were human, she would be 1.68m tall, weigh 54kg and measure an impossible 38 - 18 - 34. Young girls, who play with Barbie, according toher critics, will grow up wanting to have big breasts and slim waists.

  They will grow up starving themselves so as to achieve that perfect, but impossible, figure.

  In my post-Barbie teen years, as I was trying to develop my own personality and find my placein the world, I started to believe such pseudo -feminist arguments. I started to distance myselffrom my Barbie -playing childhood, and would look down upon anything that was colored pinklike Barbie's clothes. Pink was evil, I thought.

Since 1959, Barbie has had over 80 different careers — doctor, lawyer, pilot, presidentialcandidate, and even astronaut. Contrary to popular belief, she is not a passive creature. Sheheld the spotlight for women long before feminism began in the 1970s.
