Celebrate Barbie's sixty-fifth birthday in a book dedicated to the fascinating story of the world's most popular doll. Created by Mattel founder Ruth Handler, a revolutionary feminist visionary, Barbie challenged the conventions of the 1950s, establishing a role for women beyond that of wife and mother. With an identity outside of her family, Barbie represented a stunning modern shift, opening the imagination to what a doll – and a woman – could be.

In these pages, readers will discover not only Barbie's rich history but also her unique magic: she is a doll through which girls can project their own fantasies, whether they are a doctor, a rock star, a paleontologist, or a medalist.
