There is a retrospective of Ann Madden's Major works from the 1950's to Date running at IMMA until September the 30th, I had meant to write about it before.

Less than 150 years ago, a female kid was happy to play with a bit of sackcloth stuffed with straw or a male kid was encouraged to tie a bit of pig gut to a forked stick. Posh kids (of the male variety) were offered lead soldiers to re-enact regimental glories at Waterloo and posh kids (of the child girl variety) were offered endless coloured ribons of the Laura Ingles "little house on the prarie" type. Then Mattel came along and sold us Barbie. read full story / add a comment
