Barbie Forever: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy by Robin Gerber
inspiring
lighthearted
3.5
This is a fun introduction to the history of Barbie. The many photos make this an easy and wonderfully visual read!
I personally would have enjoyed some more insight into Barbie as a concept, and the criticisms that have come with her, and body image for example. More discussion of other Barbie pop culture such as the animated movies would have also been very enjoyable for me. However, this book is primarily focused on the Barbie doll, which is understandable.
A nice informative read for anyone who wants a good basis on how Barbie came to be, and has changed over time.
Thank you NetGalley for this eARC
