The Barbie doll is one of the most iconic and popular fashion dolls in the world.
It was created by Ruth Handler and introduced by the American toy company Mattel in March 1959.
Barbie is known for her long, blonde hair, blue eyes, and a wide range of outfits and accessories that allow children to dress her up in various styles and roles.
Over the years, Barbie has had many different careers and personas, from a fashion model to a doctor, astronaut, teacher, and more, reflecting the aspirations and imaginations of generations of children.
Barbie has also been a subject of cultural criticism and debate due to her portrayal of an unrealistic body image and her influence on gender roles and expectations.
Mattel has made efforts to diversify the Barbie line by introducing dolls of different ethnic backgrounds, body shapes, and careers to promote inclusivity and representation.
Despite controversies, Barbie remains a beloved and enduring toy, and she has a significant place in the history of dolls and pop culture.
