Barbie – A Short History
Before Barbie, most American dolls were baby dolls. In the 1950s, Ruth Handler, whose husband worked for the toy company Mattel, came up with the idea of creating a doll to represent a young woman instead of a baby. Mattel initially didn’t like the idea much, but Handler didn’t give up. While on holiday to Europe in 1956, Handler found a recently launched German fashion doll, Bild Lilli, and brought it back to prove that there would be a market for dolls representing young adult characters.
This tactic worked, and in 1959, engineer Jack Ryan helped Handler design the first Barbie doll. They named the doll after Handler’s daughter, Barbara. The first Barbie doll looked quite unlike the version of Barbie we know today. She had a ponytail, and her basic outfit was a striped swimsuit. You could choose between a blonde or a brunette Barbie, and her face and body shape were quite different.
Over the years, Barbie’s appearance has changed quite a lot, and she’s also taken on a great number of other professions aside from being a model. Other characters were added to the cast, such as Barbie’s boyfriend Ken, and siblings Skipper and Chelsea. Barbie also got her own animated films, book series, a web series, branded apparel, and video games!
