Vote in our Independent Women poll: Is the new ‘autistic Barbie’ good for representation? – UK Times

Each week, the Independent Women newsletter takes a closer look at the stories shaping women’s lives – from the moments that inspire to the issues that frustrate, challenge and spark debate.

Alongside my take and reflections from readers, the newsletter also features a weekly poll, giving our community the chance to weigh in on the topics behind the headlines and see how others are feeling.

You can vote in this week’s poll below. We’ll update this article weekly with the latest question and publish the final results once voting closes, so you can track how views change over time.

For more commentary on the week’s biggest talking points, make sure you’re signed up to the Independent Women newsletter.

Not subscribed yet? It’s free and easy to join – just head to our newsletter preference centre, press the ‘+’ button next to Independent Women, and enter your email address. You can also sign up via the email box at the top of this page.

Each poll runs for one week, with results published here once voting closes – so don’t forget to check back.
