The doll that molded many childhood memories has just announced a revolutionary change.

Following the movements of the 21^st century, Barbie has since made an ultimate transition by finally following the fresh ideas and beliefs of modern society. 

Movements much like the well-known hashtag, #BodyPositivity, have made impactful changes in the lives of young women. Seen almost all over the Internet, a new wave of feminism has flourished, allowing women to challenge the expectations society places upon them. 

Barbie has clearly kept up with the recent demands of girls across the world, as they have just released a new line of figures.

It was apparent that the company put tremendous value into the creation of these new dolls. The project was supposedly held to such secretive standards that only 20-30 people on Earth were in the know.

After announcing their new line to the public, Barbie proudly introduced three new figures: Curvy, Petite, and Tall. 

The original Barbie, who will still be sold on the shelves, sadly does not bear as much awesomeness as the new set of girls. 

With anticipation running high, people can expect to see the trio coming in later 2016, available at their nearest toy store. 

Admittedly, I grew up with a fair amount more of Bratz dolls as a child, seeing as they were the only ones who looked like me. 

I had a few Barbies here and there, but considering I couldn’t relate to their looks at all, they were only helpful with filling the space in my knock off Barbie Dream House. 

I usually felt very distant to the incredibly thin, perfect blonde dolls. They were a great addition to my excessive collection, but the realization that they didn’t resemble me in figure or looks is what drew me further from the typical 6-year-old love for them. 

Barbie’s new line of girls is an insurgent moment in history for girls and boys of all ages. The inclusiveness relieves women of unrealistic ideas of beauty. 

America is oftentimes dead set in its ways, unwilling to uplift the deterring standards of ideal, Westernized, European features. Barbie, however, has begun to inch towards the acknowledgment of the reality that there are various forms of beauty: small, large and everything in between. 

Body styles are limitless, and the images we surround our children with are what typically determine their attitudes as they reach pre-teen years.

Body dysmorphic disorder, a condition that affects many young women, follows girls into their later years as they feel doubts about the natural curve of their hips and the lack of slenderness in their calves. 

As they are deeply ingrained into our society, men have also taken on the notion from these standards that this what the ideal girl looks like. 

With the women on the magazines airbrushed to mock the figures and complexion of these dolls, people begin to assume this is the pinnacle of beauty, the ultimate attractiveness. 

The new dolls strike me as a positive change, however. Barbie is sending a message to girls across the globe. 

While it still deserves criticism for its lack of various ethnicities and cultural aspects, it is important to acknowledge the steps being taken in the right direction.

It is one small fight at a time, and reaching this point of extensiveness is massive in the eyes of many.
