The Birth of Barbie
- Learn how Ruth Handler came up with the idea of a doll that allowed little girls to play at being women, then overcame a parade of challenges, including disbelief from her male colleagues that mothers would buy their daughters an adult doll with full-grown breasts, and persevered to create the wildly successful Barbie doll and prove her doubters wrong.
Breaking Boundaries
- Follow the path that Barbie took from teenage fashion model to over 200 different careers, including trailblazing roles like astronaut in 1965, beating the first American woman, Sally Ride, into space by nearly 20 years, to surgeon in 1973, at a time when the total number of women physicians in the US was around 5 percent, to other male-dominated roles like Marine Corps sergeant, a business executive, and President of the United States.
Reflecting Diversity
- See how a doll that started with a choice of either blonde or brunette hair now boasts 35 skin tones, 97 hair styles, and 9 body types, with those numbers growing each year.
Barbie in Fashion
