In the past, Barbie has been under fire for body image, lack of diversity, stereotypes, etc., but Barbie is turning things around. In a recent advertisement, Barbie has reflected on the message of female empowerment through the big idea of imagination. The Barbie website is covered with imagery of female empowerment with hashtags like "#YouCanBeAnything and Barbies of all different careers from different eras. They even have an inspiring quote from the Barbie Creator, Ruth Handler, "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that, through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices." Just like the Dove advertisements, Barbie has created an advertisements that all people of different gender, age, race, etc should see.
