Happy International Women's Day, Barbie!

Mattel have introduced the Sheroes, Role Models and Inspiring Women series to comment on and show respect to significant women of history and the present. The Role Models series in particular is an explicit tie-in with International Women's Day so by the time this post goes live I am sure that Mattel will have announced a new wave of women to celebrate for 2024.

Edit: In between me adding this post to my queue and the post going live, Mattel did in fact announce the women for 2024. If you are reading this, I have already written a new post about this that I added to the queue prior to this one going up.

(Pictured above: the Role Models from 2022).

In the build up to that, though, if I may just share some of the women represented in the Inspiring Women line that I have not had the opportunity to talk about before.

Such as Susan B Anthony, women's rights activist and suffragist. She is depicted in the Barbie as looking very young, which is in a way a shame - I would like to see more Barbies represent a diversity of ages. Then again, although her famous trial occurred when she was in her early 50s, Susan B Anthony was actively involved in anti-slavery petitions from the age of 16 so representing her at any age is still appropriate.

Rosa Parks has also been immortalized in Barbie form, and her display box in fact shows an empty bus behind her. The picture they have used to represent Parks seems to be from her first bus trip after they became legally integrated.

Helen Keller; her box has a label in Braille, as well as the book in her hand.

[Susan B.] Anthony herself never tried to 'rationalise' her unmarried state; she was quite explicit that it was a choice, and a good one. In an interview in 1906 she stated: ‘I never felt could give up my life of freedom to become a man's housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!’ (quoted in Gurko, 1976, p. 291). She was also prepared to use the fact that she was not married for ‘political’ purposes. Elizabeth Cady Stanton says that when Anthony was asked why she was not married she used to respond with the declaration ‘that she could not consent that the man she loved, described in the Constitution as a white male, native born, American citizen, possessed of the right of self government, eligible to the office of President of the great Republic, should unite his destinies in marriage with a political slave and pariah’ (Stanton, 1898a, p. 172).

Susan B. Anthony by Allison Adams

“Men, their rights, and nothing more; women, their rights, and nothing less."

Susan B. Anthony (1820 – 1906) was an American social reformer and women's rights activist who dedicated her life to woman suffrage. It is largely because of her determination and zeal that women in America have the equal right to vote and own their own property.

Friends Meeting House (East Hoosuc), in Adams, Massachusetts. 

Built by Quaker settlers on the frontier in the 1780s, it housed an active meeting until the 1840s, when Friends moved west. Susan B. Anthony, the early feminist, grew up in this meeting, and some of her family is buried in the neighboring burial ground. Today the building is under the care of the local historical society.

On April 4, 2013, Sophie B. Hawkins appeared as herself on the TV series Community in the episode "Herstory of Dance", performing "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" and "As I Lay Me Down" during the community college's "Sophie B. Hawkins Dance," so named because Britta confused her with Susan B. Anthony in an attempt to compete with a Sadie Hawkins Dance.

“Forget conventionalisms; forget what the world thinks of you stepping out of your place; think your best thoughts, speak your best words, work your best works, looking to your own conscience for approval.” ― Susan B. Anthony

Podcast: 10 Forgotten Facts about the Women's Suffrage Movement

August 2020 marked 100 years since women in the U.S. were finally given the right to vote.  Though the Declaration of Independence in 1776 declared that all ‘men’ are created equal, the U.S. Constitution did not grant such equality to women.  For the next 144 years, U.S. women were denied the right to vote, up until the start of the Roaring Twenties in 1920.   So America had the automobile, the…

The next white woman to use the Suffragette Movement to tell women of color that “ We need to work together” I’m throwing a shoes at them.

Susan B. Anthony said and I quote ,”I will cut off this right arm of mine before I will ever work or demand the ballot for the N3gr0( you ain’t reporting me) and not the woman.”

Meaning white women didn’t fight for the right to even work outside the home before the 1940s. And y’all had the right to vote in 1919 before Indigenous people were even considered citizen in 1924. And another 20 years before everyone had the right to vote without poll taxes( but let’s be honest that’s only on paper, not in practice for a while.)

And a lot of y’all are just like her.
