History Of The Barbie Doll

The concept of the Barbie doll first materialised in 1987 after businesswoman Ruth Handler noticed that her daughter enjoyed creating adult roles during her playtime – despite dolls at the time representing younger children.

After discovering the German-originating Bild Lilli doll, which was modelled after an adult, this gave her an idea: the toy company Mattel could do the same. Named after her daughter, Barbara, the Barbie dolls became a hit amongst young girls.

With these adult-shaped dolls, children enjoyed dressing them up with various accessories and giving them roles to perform – such as a doctor, vet, fire-fighter, and even the president.

Through these characteristics, Barbie has become regarded as a pioneer of female independence, encouraging young girls to do what they want to do.

And the Barbie lifestyle has even stretched beyond dolls and into the realm of film, television, video games, and music. Undoubtedly, Barbie is a staple of pop culture.
