The first image of Barbie
and the release date
According to information from Warner Bros. Picture shared through your Twitter profile, Barbie It will be released on July 1, 2023. In the first image that could be seen, Margot Robbie is seen in the center of the image, inside a car and different winks towards the dolls, from the color palette to the expression.
The history of this doll began on March 9, 1959, when the company Hub inc. brought the first of them to market. Barbie’s creator was Ruth Handler, who made it with the idea that “through the doll, girls could become everything they wanted”, as he went on to say. The size of this doll is almost unapproachable, entering millions of homes and marking the childhood of so many girls.
On the other hand, it has also been associated with various controversies; in particular, those that have to do with the image of women. One of the constant comments is that Barbie promotes an aesthetic notion that does not represent many women. Others have been added to these criticisms, recently, associated with feminism and how the doll and the compartment attributed to it in different scenarios can be understood as a patriarchal one.
