Margot Robbie's Barbie and the Doll's Surprising (Feminist) History

The 2023 live-action Barbie movie directed by feminist indie filmmaker Greta Gerwig and starring modern bombshell Margot Robbie may have been surprising at first, but actually feels like a natural progression. As the Barbie doll has morphed over the years, she’s actually been a powerful mirror for the changing roles of women in the late 20th and 21st centuries. Today she can appear like an easy target for criticism, but in fact Barbie’s legacy is far richer and more complex as a figure who’s worked hard to bring feminist conversations into the mainstream.
