A Living Doll Turns 40
'The Barbie Chronicles' prove once and for all that no one can be neutral about Her Royal Pinkness. From Barbie's breasts to her career prospects, her star turns as boy toy, sex goddess and role model, contributors like Erica Jong, Jane Smiley, Carol Shields and Anna Quindlen unmask the original material girl and the many different things she means to different people - and the results are as wildly diverse and entertaining as her wardrobe.
Lighthearted and appreciative, furious and damning, funny and reflective, provocative and poignant, 'The Barbie Chronicles' will make you think twice about the world's most beloved piece of posable plastic.
