Barbie at 60: instrument of female oppression or positive influence?
Barbie Millicent Roberts, from Wisconsin US, is celebrating her 60th birthday. She is a toy. A doll. Yet she has grown into a phenomenon. An iconic figure, recognised by millions of children and adults worldwide, she has remained a popular choice for more than six decades â a somewhat unprecedented feat for a doll in the toy industry.
She is also, arguably, the original âinfluencerâ of young girls, pushing an image and lifestyle that can shape what they aspire to be like. So, at 60, how is the iconic Barbie stepping up to support her fellow women and girls?
When Barbie was born many toys for young girls were of the baby doll variety; encouraging nurturing and motherhood and perpetuating the idea that a girlâs future
role would be one of homemaker and mother. Thus Barbie was born out of a desire to give girls something more. Barbie was a fashion model with her own career. The idea that girls could play with her and imagine their future selves, whatever that may be, was central to the Barbie brand.
However, the âsomething moreâ that was given fell short of empowering girls, by 15 todayâs standards. And Barbie has been described as âan agent of female oppressionâ. The focus on play that imagined being grown up, with perfect hair, a perfect body, a plethora of outfits, a sexualised physique, and a perfect first love (in the equally perfect
Ken) has been criticised over the years for perpetuating a different kind of ideal â one centred around body image, with dangerous consequences for girlsâ mental and 20 physical health.
Body image
Toys have a significant influence on the development of children, far beyond innocent play. Through play, children mimic social norms and subtle messages regarding gender roles, and stereotypes can be transmitted by seemingly ubiquitous toys. Early studies in the 1930s by Kenneth and Mamie Clark showed how young black girls would more often choose to play with a white doll rather than a black doll, as the white doll was considered more beautiful â a reflection of internalised feelings as a result of racism.
The same supposition â that girls playing with Barbie may internalise the unrealistic
body that she innocently promotes â has been the subject of research and what is clear is that parents are often unaware of the potential effects on body image when approving toys for their children. [âŚ]
More than a body
If Barbie was about empowering girls to be anything that they want to be, then the
Barbie brand has tried to move with the times by providing powerful role playing tools for girls. No longer is Barbie portrayed in roles such as the air hostess â or, when promoted to pilot, still dressed in a feminine and pink version of the uniform. Modern pilot Barbie is more appropriately dressed, with a male air steward as a sidekick . Such changes can have a remarkable impact on how young girls imagine their career 40 possibilities, potential futures, and the roles that they are expected to take. Mattelâs move to honour 20 women role models including Japanese Haitian tennis player Naomi Osaka â currently the world number one â with her own doll is a positive step in bringing empowering role models into the consciousness of young girls.
Children who are less stereotyped in their gender and play are less likely to be
45 stereotyped in their occupations and are more creative. But of course, society needs to mirror this. In the week when Virgin Atlantic abolished the requirement to wear make up for female cabin crew, the arduous journey away from constraining female body and beauty ideals could slowly be taking off. But in a culture where female ageing is now an aesthetic pressure felt by many, perhaps Mattel will show us diversity in age 50 and womanhood? Happy 60th birthday to the still 20-year-old looking Barbie.

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesnât go, and doesnât suit me. And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say weâve no money for butter.
.
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
