Breaking Boundaries – Follow the path that Barbie took from teenage fashion model to over 200 different careers, including trailblazing roles like astronaut in 1965, beating the first American woman, Sally Ride, into space by nearly 20 years, to surgeon in 1973, at a time when the total number of women physicians in the US was around 5 percent, to other male-dominated roles like Marine Corps sergeant, a business executive, and President of the United States. Reflecting Diversity – See how a doll that started with a choice of either blonde or brunette hair now boasts 35 skin tones, 97 hair styles, and 9 body types, with those numbers growing each year. Barbie in Fashion and Art – Explore how the fashion and art worlds have influenced and been influenced by Barbie, from limited edition Barbie fashions from premiere designers like Christian Dior and Michael Kors to a portrait of Barbie by Andy Warhol. Barbie in Pop Culture – Discover all the ways that Barbie has influenced pop culture, from Barbie bloggers and collectors to how her movie smashed records as the highest-grossing domestic release in history, granting its female director, Greta Gerwig, the prize for the highest-grossing film directed by a woman. Barbie: Her Inspiration, History, and Legacy reveals how Barbie is more than a toy—she is an ideal that lives forever, encouraging girls to persist through to become whatever they dream to be.

Book excerpt: Barbie changed what a doll could be. Before her, many dolls were baby dolls. Girls would care for these dolls and practice being mothers. But Barbie let girls imagine other futures. The iconic doll had many careers, inspiring girls to dream of new possibilities for themselves and for women. In the early 1950s, Ruth Handler was watching her daughter, Barbara, and her friends play with paper dolls. The dolls resembled women. Handler saw how the girls imagined themselves as the dolls. But paper dolls were flimsy and delicate. Handler thought the kids’ imaginations could take off even more if they had durable dolls. This led her to create Barbie dolls. These days about two Barbies are sold every second. Barbie has her own movies and TV series. The 2023 blockbuster Barbie dominated the box office. Learn more about Barbie and her impact.

Page 9 of 38 Chapter 1: A Bright Mystery Barbie once found a strange thing in her closet while she was looking for a book. The map was old and dusty, and the pictures on it were very detailed but faded. The map showed a twisting road that went through rivers, up mountains, and into a place marked with a rainbow. At the end of the rainbow, there were pictures of amazing animals, like horses with manes that sparkled and were very bright. Barbie found out that they were the famous Rainbow Ponies, a group of magical beings renowned for their beauty and the happiness they brought with them everywhere they went. When Barbie was young, her grandmother told her stories about these magical ponies that were full of excitement. She had no idea she'd actually get to see them. On the other hand, she has a map with her that can help her find them. Barbie jumped up and down with joy. She knew she was about to embark on an amazing journey that would take her to places she had never imagined before. Barbie was going on a trip to find the Rainbow Ponies and figure out what they were up to. She imagined herself flying through the sky on a pony whose main was made of all the colors of the rainbow. She and the pony would be happy and meet everyone they met with a smile. Along the way, she knew there would be problems and that it would not be easy to find the Rainbow Ponies. Barbie had all the guts, kindness, and drive she needed to help other people. Barbie was set on taking this amazing trip, so she began getting ready. It was mostly the map that she put in her bag, along with food, a water bottle, a compass, among other things. She stayed cool in the sun by putting on a hat and her favorite, comfortable shoes. Barbie left her house and followed the path shown on the map. She was excited to go on a journey and her heart was full of joy. She couldn't wait to see where this trip would take her because she knew it would be full of thrills and amazing things. She had no idea how much the Rainbow Ponies quest would teach her about dreams, magic, and friendship. Along with old boxes full of memories and treasures, Barbie's eye was pulled to something wonderful in a cozy corner of her attic. The old map was mysteriously interesting, even though its colors were faded and its edges were rough. This wasn't your average plan; it showed a way to get through magical areas, over sparkling rivers, and through meadows full of flowers that looked like they were dancing in the wind. Barbie was interested in the map's stated location, which was the magical Rainbow Ponies' home. It wasn't like any other pony. If Barbie's grandma told her stories about ponies with manes and tails that sparkled with every color of the rainbow, those ponies would bring joy and happiness to everyone. The stories showed how kind they were and how they used magic to help people and make the world a better place. Page 10 of 38 When Barbie saw the plan, she was amazed. This was different from how she used to enjoy discovering new places. She could see magic and meet animals from the stories she had heard as a child. Now that Barbie had this plan in her hands, she felt like the stories were calling her and taking her on a journey like no other. There were stories about Rainbow Ponies that made people wonder. Barbie thought it was time to start this journey because she was very passionate about it. She knew it wouldn't be simple. The map showed a winding road that went through a new area and might be hard to find your way around. Barbie, on the other hand, wanted to go on this trip because she wanted to meet the Rainbow Ponies and find out who they were. She imagined what it would be like to be close to them, to feel their shiny manes, and even to ride through the sky, leaving a rainbow trail behind her. Barbie then started getting ready. She stocked up on goods to be ready for anything that might happen. She knew the journey would need bravery, strong will, and kindness. She was scared and excited as she left her house with a map in her hand. This was the start of a trip that would show her the magic of the Rainbow Ponies and maybe even help her find some of that magic inside herself. With a sense of adventure and wonder, Barbie set out into the unknown, eager to find out where it would lead. Page 11 of 38 Chapter 2: By the Woods That Whisper. She hiked until she reached the edge of the mysterious Whispering Woods. The wind seemed to bring whispers through the trees in this woods. As she walked into the woods, the air was nice, and the light dancing through the trees seemed to meet her. Barbie quickly came to the conclusion that this forest was different from all the others she had seen. The trees around her had their own life and could talk to each other, not just the sound of leaves moving and branches swinging. Each tree spoke in its own soft way, like a whisper carried by the wind. The sound of their leaves rustling together sounded like a soft cheer as Barbie walked by. They gave her a warm welcome. The chatting trees in The Whispering Woods were both nice and smart. They had stood there and watched the world change for hundreds of years. They knew every animal route, secret, and track in the forest. As Barbie went deeper into the forest, the trees started to lead her. Their soft sounds made it easier for her to follow their winding tracks. To let her know how hard the journey would be, they told her about secret valleys, tall hills, and streams with water as clear as glass and moving as fast as the wind. The trees not only warned, but also gave advice and support. They told Barbie that every problem was a chance to learn and grow, and that each step she took made her stronger. They told her to pay attention to both the voice inside her and the voices around her, because that's where real bravery starts. As Barbie went into the Whispering Woods, she was filled with wonder and thanks. In this beautiful place, she wasn't by herself. The trees watched over her and taught her, showing her not only how to be careful but also how to be strong and determined to reach her goal. The muttering trees in the muttering Woods were more than just a way to get to her next adventure; they taught her a lot about how important it is to listen to and learn from nature. There was a lot of whispering going on around Barbie as she continued her trip through the Whispering Woods. It looked like every big, old tree was bending down to tell her what it knew. These trees were not like other trees; they were forest guards that held knowledge and stories that had been passed down from generation to generation. When they talked to Barbie, it was like a soft symphony in the cool, magical air, and as she walked by, their leaves rustled with the weight of all the world's secrets. The trees told stories about brave people and travelers who walked this path long ago, before Barbie. They told whispered tales of the magical and amazing things that were hidden in the country. These were riddles that only kind and open-minded people could solve. Barbie was told that she would have to deal with problems like hills that reached the sky, dark caves where no light ever came in, Page 12 of 38 and fast-moving rivers with deep water. The trees told Barbie that the path would lead to amazing things she could never have imagined, even though they were not easy. But there was more to their whispers than met the eye. They were making a promise that made Barbie think of her. They told her that getting to her goal wasn't the only magical part of the trip; the journey itself was also magical. They talked about how important it is to have kindness, keep an open heart, and be strong through empathy and understanding. The trees gave her peace by telling her that these traits would be her best friends and help her get through any problems that came her way. Barbie heard with eagerness and no fear in her heart. The Whispering Woods became a place for growth and learning as its old trees and mumbled secrets changed over time. As Barbie moved forward, the knowledge of the forest led her and she formed a strong bond with the land and its stories. She saw how this trip was changing her and taught her how important it is to be kind and how beautiful the world is. The soft murmuring of the trees not only led her, but it also reminded her of the more in-depth trip she was about to take, one where she would learn more about herself and the environment. Page 13 of 38 Chapter 3: Thoughts on the Water After going through the strange Whispering Woods, Barbie came to rest in the peaceful and magical River of Reflections. She had never seen a river like this before. The water was so clear and calm that it reflected the sky, mixing the world of the forest with the endless blue of the sky. Barbie walked up to the river and saw a small wave in the perfect mirror. She was mesmerized by the beauty before her. From the waves, a mermaid came out. Her eyes were friendly, and her hair was as blue as the river. The mermaid smiled at Barbie, but she seemed a little suspicious. This mermaid, whose knowledge was as deep as the seas around her, watched over the River of Reflections. She told Barbie about the river's beauty and how it was more than just water—it showed how the spirit was. One could see not only their own reflection in the water, but also the image of their deepest self, complete with all of their fears, worries, hopes, and doubts that were buried deep inside. Barbie learned from the mermaid that having strong emotions and thoughts is just as important as being physically strong when it comes to getting through tough times. She said that believing in yourself was like having a power that was stronger than any spell and could light up the darkest road and vanquish the worst fears. The mermaid told tales about people who had stood by the river in the past and how they became stronger on the inside by learning to see their true selves in the waves. Barbie paid cl

Book excerpt: Made Up exposes the multibillion-dollar beauty industry that promotes unrealistic beauty standards through a market basket of advertising tricks, techniques, and technologies. Cosmetics magnate Charles Revson, a founder of Revlon, was quoted as saying, "In the factory, we make cosmetics. In the store, we sell hope." This pioneering entrepreneur, who built an empire on the foundation of nail polish, captured the unvarnished truth about the beauty business in a single metaphor: hope in a jar. Made Up: How the Beauty Industry Manipulates Consumers, Preys on Women’s Insecurities, and Promotes Unattainable Beauty Standards is a thorough examination of innovative, and often controversial, advertising practices used by beauty companies to persuade consumers, mainly women, to buy discretionary goods like cosmetics and scents. These approaches are clearly working: the average American woman will spend around $300,000 on facial products alone during her lifetime. This revealing book traces the evolution of the global beauty industry, discovers what makes beauty consumers tick, explores the persistence and pervasiveness of the feminine beauty ideal, and investigates the myth-making power of beauty advertising. It also examines stereotypical portrayals of women in beauty ads, looks at celebrity beauty endorsements, and dissects the “looks industry.” Made Upuncovers the reality behind an Elysian world of fantasy and romance created by beauty brands that won’t tell women the truth about beauty.
