Advertising is an indispensable tool in today’s world for introducing any product, service, or idea to a target consumer. Furthermore, advertising can influence specific age groups, such as children, by shaping ideas through advertisements. The main objective of this research project is to analyze the impact of advertising in creating gender stereotypes, particularly through the lens of the most iconic doll of all time: Barbie. Through this study, we observe that advertising often portrays ambiguous representations that persist in relation to gender stereotypes. For instance, until recently, television commercials for household cleaning products exclusively featured women. Regarding this, can we assert that Barbie has contributed to the construction of gender stereotypes? Barbie was launched in the late 1950s in California, United States, by Ruth Handler with the aim of providing her daughter with a toy that portrayed an independent woman, thus steering her away from traditional baby dolls that needed caring for as if she were a mother rather than a little girl. Since then, Barbie has become a cultural icon of both the 20th and 21st centuries in Western countries, where beauty is considered to be fair skin, a slim and stylized body, large and light eyes, well-groomed hair, etc. Characters like Barbie as president, astronaut, lawyer, doctor, and more demonstrate her ability to inspire creativity. Beyond meritocracy, Barbie reflects the evolving needs and identities of women. Lastly, the conclusions present reflections on the influence of advertising and especially on the image that Barbie projects onto girls and boys regarding the preconceived idea of beauty. It should be noted that in this work, masculine language will be used as, according to the RAE, it is considered inclusive language.
