This volume celebrates the 65th birthday of Barbie, arguably the world's most famous doll. Readers will discover not only Barbie's eventful history but also her unique magic: she is a doll onto which girls can project their dreams and fantasies – whether they want to be a doctor, rock star, paleontologist, Olympic champion, baseball player, virologist, or ecologist.
Created by Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel and a pioneering feminist visionary, Barbie broke with the conventions of the 1950s by opening up roles for women beyond wife and mother. With an identity independent of family life, Barbie embodied a modern and revolutionary figure who sparked the imagination of what a doll – and a woman – could be. This book offers a decades-long exploration of Barbie's evolution, from 1959 to the present day, packed with fascinating facts, insights, and never-before-seen footage. From Marilyn Monroe to Margot Robbie, from fashion designers to first responders, Barbie provides a comprehensive look at this American cultural phenomenon. To date, more than one billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide, representing over 250 professions and a diverse range of nationalities, ethnicities, and body types. English edition.
