Book Barbie: 60 Years of Inspiration by Assouline

Description

Founded on March 9, 1959, Barbie arrived on the scene and took the world by storm. Envisioned as a new type of doll that allows girls to play roles beyond a caretaker, Barbie has become one of the world's most recognizable faces over the past 60 years. Reflecting the ambitions and aspirations of generations of children, Barbie is more than just a toy: she reflects the evolution of modern culture and the expansion of women's roles in society. Barbie's story is a journey through six decades of social culture, inspired by the vision and tenacity of one woman, Ruth Handler, who dared to pursue her personal dreams in the face of hardship and opposition. Featuring in-depth and witty text, Assouline's Barbie : 60 Years of Inspiration connects the story of Barbie with the history of modern women, highlighting moments from each decade that led to the advancement of women across everything from workforce to sport, technology to government, culture and innovation. Curating the most dynamic images from the Mattel brand archive alongside important social and historical events, Barbie: Sixty Years of Inspiration reflects Barbie's impact on cultural trends and illustrates her message of positive female empowerment. Above all, Barbie's mission has always been to inspire girls everywhere to chase their dreams and become whatever they want.
