Barbie Creator, Inventor, and Mother Ruth Handler (who co-founded Mattel) watched her daughter playing with paper dolls for hours. This sparked the idea that became one of the most iconic toys in the history of Mattel. Ruth Handler always said “My whole philosophy of Barbie was that, through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices.” Nothing could be truer in today’s world as young girls can imagine and become anything they want to be.
