Barbie has a special place in my heart having played a large place in my childhood as well as shaping my mindset that anyone can do/be anything. So when I found Robin Gerber's Barbie: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy I immediately requested it read (which I'm so glad I got to!). Although it is a short book, don't let that fool you, Gerber's book is so fun and thoroughly researched with extensive backgrounds behind the Barbie doll, her creator, Ruth Handler, and the global phenomena that followed.
Filled with images from early advertisements to modern campaigns and photos of Mattel founders and Barbie fans, this bright, colourful book is perfect for any Barbie fan who wants to look back into their childhood, or those who still have Barbie fever from the film released last year.
Thank you, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – becker & mayer! for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
