Annotation
Since her creation in 1959, Barbie has become an icon of femininity to girls all over the world. In this study, author Emily R. AguilPrez focuses on a group of multigenerational Puerto Rican women and girls, exploring how playing with Barbie dolls as children has impacted their lives. By documenting the often-complicated relationships girls have with Barbie dolls, AguilPrez highlights the ways through which women and girls construct their own identities in relation to femininity, body image, race, and nationalism through Barbie play.
