Barbie Part 2: Legally Blonde


Listen Later

Barbie has spent probably as much time in the courthouse as her Dreamhouse, suing over doll designs, feminist book titles, a literal bag of chips—you name it. Intern Anuli Ononye and Cristen follow the shocking paper trail of Barbie lawsuits, which leads them to guest Dr. Orly Lobel, author of You Don't Own Me: The Court Battles That Exposed Barbie's Dark Side, who reveals the lengths Mattel has legally gone to "protect" its billion-dollar doll, what happens when corporations clamp down on creativity and the one job Barbie will never have.

Part 2 of 2.
