PASSAGE ONE
Ruth Handier invented something in 1959 which became so quintesntially American as to be included in the official "America's Time Capsule" buried at the celebration of the Bicentennial in 1976: the Barbie doll.
In the early 1950s, Handler saw that her young daughter, Barbara, and her girlfriends enjoyed playing with adult female dolls as much or more than with baby dolls. Handler nd that it was just as important for girls to imagine what they themlves might grow up to become as it was for them to focus on what caring for children might be like.
Inspired by her daughter's fascination with adult paper dolls, Ruth Handler suggested making a three-dimensional doll through which little girls could act out their dreams. In 1959, Mattel introduced the Barbie doll (named after the Handlers' daughter), a pint-sized model of the "girl next door." Soon enough Barbie sprouted a coterie of friends and family. Ken (named for the Handlers' son), Barbie's boyfriend, appeared in 1961.
Meanwhile, the longtime Southern California resident defied prevailing trends in the toy industry of the late 1950s when she propod an alternative to the flat-chest baby dolls then marketed to girls. "I believed it was important to a little girl's lf-esteem," Handler has said, "to play with a doll that has breasts." Barbie, a teenage doll with a tiny waist, slender hips and impressive bust, became not only a best-lling toy with more than 1 billion sold in 150 countries, but a cultural icon analyzed by scholars, attacked by feminists and showcad in the Smithsonian Institution.
