If ever you think that women are not strong, watch Jane Eyre.

If ever you think that life will never get better, watch Jane Eyre.

If ever you think that personality counts for nothing, watch Jane Eyre.

If ever you think that you are talentless and cannot be taught, watch Jane Eyre.

If ever you think that those who have wronged you will not be punished, watch Jane Eyre.

If ever you think that you are not cherished, watch Jane Eyre.

We’ve been good friends, haven’t we? I’ve a strange feeling with regard to you; as if I have a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly knotted to a similar string in you, and if you were to leave I’m afraid that chord of communion would snap. And I have a notion that I would take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, you’d forget me.

– Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre

If Barbie were an actual women, she would be 5’9” tall, have a 39” bust, an 18” waist, 33” hips and a size 3 shoe.

• Barbie calls this a “full figure” and likes her weight at 110 lbs.
• At 5’9” tall and weighing 110 lbs, Barbie would have a BMI of 16.24 and fit the weight criteria for anorexia. She likely would not menstruate.
• If Barbie was a real woman, she’d have to walk on all fours due to her proportions.
• Slumber Party Barbie was introduced in 1965 and came with a bathroom scale permanently set at 110 lbs with a book entitled “How to Lose Weight” with directions inside stating simply “Don’t eat.”
