Description Description

Celebrate Barbie ’s sixty-fifth anniversary in a book dedicated to the fascinating history of the world’s most popular doll. Created by Mattel founder Ruth Handler , a game-changing feminist visionary, Barbie defied the conventions of the 1950s, establishing a role for women other than wife and mother. With an identity outside of her family, Barbie represented a startling modern shift, opening the imagination about what a doll—and a woman—could be.

In these pages, readers will discover not only Barbie's rich history, but also her unique magic: she is a doll through which girls can project their own fantasies, whether that be a doctor, a rock star, a paleontologist, an Olympic gold medalist, a Major League Baseball player, a virologist or an environmentalist.

About the brand

Assouline, where culture meets luxury It all began in 1993, when Martine and Prosper Assouline found themselves at the La Colombe d'Or hotel in France, one of their most beloved places in the world. As they experienced its beauty together, their curiosity about life and love of books inspired them to make their own tome about the hotel. Prosper took the photos, Martine wrote the text, and La Colombe D'Or became their first book, published in 1994. Today, every Assouline book continues to be created with the same union of talent and passion: Martine's editorial direction and Prosper's creative vision.
