The Empowering Evolution of Barbie: From Cult of Beauty to Symbol of Possibilities

Barbie is a cult that (almost) everyone knows. Which little girl didn’t love combing and especially dressing up this famous doll! Mothers frantically sewed more and more pieces, because the doll itself and the clothes for it used to be a prized and scarce commodity here. Today, the doll is dressed by the world’s leading fashion houses, such as Gucci or Louis Vuitton.

You can be anything you want!

Who would say that the doll was created in order to establish a cult of beauty, is grossly mistaken! She originally wanted to show little girls that they can be anything they want to be. Indeed, when American entrepreneur Ruth Handler, who invented the doll, she looked at her two children at play, she noticed that the son had a lot of options to play with and on, but the daughter? She could only be a housewife or a mother. And Ruth Handler decided to change that. That’s why the Barbie doll in the iconic striped swimsuit was created – and named after her daughter Barbara.

The doll gradually gained popularity all over the world, changing outfits, skin color and religion (for example, a doll in a hijab appeared on the market not long ago). And in the end, she even became a movie heroine – today the anticipated film Barbie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling is being released. Come and test what you know about Barbie:
