Barbie is more than a kids toy for many. They even made a movie about her!

Who was once a figure of ridicule and insults for feminists, she stands strong in the year 2024 as a beacon of feminism for women and men alike. She's been through thick, she's been through thin, and she's been every occupation in the book. She's finally getting the appreciation she deserves! For all girl bosses and feminists alike, she's not just a blonde anymore – she is female empowerment.

Why is she so strong in 2024? Although she's been portrayed as beautiful, or having impossible body proportions to attract men, it doesn't discount her symbol for young women. Barbie is a go-getter, she's a hard worker, she's loyal to her boyfriend, Ken, and she's a role model for children and girls everywhere. Contemporary feminism has learned that a beautiful woman can still be a feminist, she can still be smart, strong, assertive, and her beauty just makes her more powerful. So for all the girl bosses out there, the college students, the girls working to make a living, the Moms and Daughters of the world, a little bit of Barbie exists in all of you. Let's celebrate each other through this more-than-a-doll doll in 2024.
