The company Mattel suffers backlash because some people think owning a barbie will warp kids minds and want to look exactly like barbie and will give them body dysmorphia or anorexia.

No one really changes, I mean I guess Barbie changed the toy industry and Ruth Handler changed the world with her ideas. Ruth had to "overcome" people who didn't like barbie and tried to shut her down.

I think the theme of this book is probably something like everyone has their own opinions or women empowerment or idk sexism is bad.

No real challenges in the book, it's mostly just talking about how the most "tortured" childrens toy is Barbie and that it's really common for kids to destroy them after they've played with them. No actual challenge or consequence.
