I never knew about this Charlotte woman but she is a visionary and we do not give her enough flowers.
“Ruth envisioned a grand unveiling of the doll, but the skeptics who had grown louder and more numerous as the actual product was slowly revealed.”
Am I crazy or does “who” not need to be there? Who edited this?!

“Barbie is a mirror of our world. She is forever.” That’s how the book should have ended. Instead it ended with:
“We mothers stand still so our daughters can look back to see how far they’ve come.” Aka that shitty line from the Barbie movie.

“In 1968 Talking Christie, the first African American Barbie doll, was released.” Except a few pages ago you said Black Barbie was released in 1968 which is not true!!! 😒

Black Barbie wasn’t released in 1968…Christie was. How do I know more about Barbie than the author of this book?! Idk who to blame!! The author or the editor or both!!!!

There was a random line about Rent the Runway. Why? It felt like they just called random businesses so the businesses could be like, “Yeah, I guess I was inspired by entrepreneur Barbie too. Now put me in your book to promote my company.”
It just feels disingenuous. Also that one girl who played out her mom’s miscarriage in a focus group…🫣😬

Oh BOY do I have a lot to say about chapter 3!!!
Again I ask: who is editing this?! “Her doll wore in a white fencing outfit, including her hijab and her fencing mask, accessorized by a silver handled fencing sabre.” Wore in???
There were 3-4 full pages detailing every single doll in a specific collection and it made me go back and look at when this book was released because it just seemed like a promotion!
