The Barbie doll is one of the most successful toys in history. It was launched in 1959 by the U.S. toy manufacturer Mattel. It has since become a cultural icon 1. American businesswoman Ruth Handler came up with the idea of an adult doll for small girls after seeing her daughter dressing 2 up paper dolls. The name ‘Barbie’ comes from Handler’s own daughter Barbara. Over 350,000 dolls were sold in the first year. Over a billion Barbies have been sold since. Clever marketing 3 means toy execs keep Barbie up with the times. They adjust to every cultural challenge and change. Her waist was recently widened to avoid stereotypes 4 that women must be thin. She also sports a tattoo 5 on her back. Sales are also boosted by a range of pets, cars and accessories – everything the young woman might need.
