From the Back Cover
Since Barbie's introduction in 1959, her impact on baby boomers has been revolutionary. Far from being a toy designed by men to enslave women, she was a toy invented by women for women to teach them what — for better or worse — was expected of them. In telling Barbie's fascinating story, cultural critic and investigative journalist M.G. Lord, herself a first-generation Barbie owner, has written a provocative, zany, occasionally shocking book that will change how you look at the doll and the world.
