Now that Barbie is a feminist icon, I have to confess I have two of them in my NYU office.
At one point I must have owned three, because here is an illustration from my book, Food Politics, published in 2002.
The feet on the MacDonald’s Barbie are flat—she’s wearing sneakers, appropriately for a doll on her feet all day.
The Oreo purse is a nice touch.
I don’t know what happened to my Coca-Cola Barbie but the other two are still in their boxes.
Who knew?
