Lisa wants to make doll that is a positive roll model for young girls.
This is a strong episode with a sharp satire of sexism in the toy industry.
The plot regarding the Malibu Stacy doll is excellent and parodies the Teen Talk Barbie controversies wonderfully. The character of Lisa has a great little arc and Kathleen Turner's cameo as the real Stacy is a classic. I particularly love the concept of her ex-husbands and the identity of the person with the world's largest largest Malibu Stacy collection.
I think the Abe Simpson subplot is the weakest aspect of episode, but it has some decent moments.
For me it is a 7.5/10 but I always round scores upward.
