Illustrated book Barbie

The illustrated book Barbie by Assouline is part of the Classics series and was written by Susan Shapiro. Celebrate Barbie's 65th birthday with us in a book dedicated to the fascinating history of the world's most popular doll. Created by Ruth Handler, a feminist visionary, Barbie defied the conventions of the 1950s and established a different role for women than that of wife and mother. With an identity outside her family, Barbie represented a modern departure. Decade by decade, the development of the Barbie doll from 1959 to the present day is comprehensively illuminated with fascinating insights and never-before-seen images. From Marilyn Monroe to Margot Robbie, from fashion designers to paramedics, Barbie is the essential guide to an American phenomenon. To date, more than one billion Barbie dolls have been sold worldwide, and they come in a variety of different nationalities, ethnicities and body shapes. In the illustrated book, readers discover not only Barbie's rich history, but also her unique magic: she is a doll that girls can use to realize their own fantasies, whether as a doctor, rock star, paleontologist, Olympic gold medalist, major league baseball player, virologist or ecologist.

"My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices." Ruth Handler, creator of Barbie
