The poem “Barbie Doll” was written by Marge Piercy in 1973. When I first saw this title I instantly thought of the Barbie dolls that I had when I was younger. I remember playing with them and how I was able to change their wardrobe because of all of the clothes I had. Many younger children wanted to look like the Barbie doll. In my eyes I believed that the Barbie doll was “perfect.” The Barbie doll had long blonde hair, blue eyes, had a slim figure, and was very tall. Every little girl that played with these Barbie dolls wanted to look the exact someway. Eventually the Barbie doll line came out with ethnically diverse dolls. They changed the body type, the color of the skin, eye color, and the hairstyles. Overall I think that was a smart idea
