Call for Submissions: Barbie

Unless you’ve been living in a bubble, you’ve seen video and memes or heard chatter from friends about Greta Gerwig’s new film, Barbie. If you’ve seen it, we’d love to publish your 400-700 word essays or poems on the blog about what Barbie means to you as a mama. These are just some ideas you might consider:

Did you take your daughters or sons to see it? What was that like for you and them?

What meaning does Barbie have for you and did the movie change that meaning?

Any thoughts about feminism and Barbie (the doll or film)?

Have your views about Barbie changed throughout your life? How did the movie impact that?

Please send your essays to lmblogeditor@gmail.com; be sure to put Barbie in the subject line.

Deadline is September 15, 2023.

We can’t wait to read your submissions.
