About this Blog
The Barbie Interviews Project intends to start a discussion about how gender roles and societal structures are taught to children through user-submitted anecdotes about Mattel's iconic doll.
Did you have Ken dolls? How did male dolls act in relation to your female dolls?
"I had a few Ken dolls. Gender roles were pretty much smashed. I had stay-at-home-moms, but I also had stay-at-home-dads. I didn't really have any gender roles besides clothing belonging to one gender or another."
-Denise, 14, Caucasian, pansexual female from the US
