SynopsisThe remarkable true story of Barbie's Mom, Ruth Handler--who, 35 years ago, battled sexism and scorn to design and launch the most popular toy in history. Handler candidly relates how, at the height of her success, she was struck by breast cancer and returned to the business world to market her personally designed breast prosthesis.
Interesting Reading as the Founder of Barbie Tells Her Story
As a Barbie collector, it is important to understand the history of the doll and this book gives you an interesting look at the founder. I have read other books about Ruth Handler but wanted to get her own perspective too.
