Quotes by Agnes Nairn

“The doll provoked rejection, hatred and violence.”

“You might expect little girls to love their Barbie and expect an imaginary love in return. Instead girls feel violence and hatred towards their Barbie.”

“The girls we spoke to see Barbie torture as a legitimate play activity, and see the torture as a cool activity. The types of mutilation are varied and creative, and range from removing the hair to decapitation, burning, breaking and even micro-waving.”
