Barbie and Ruth by Robin Gerber
Barbie is the diminutive yet arrestingly voluptuous doll unveiled at the 1959 Toy Fair. Ruth Handler is Barbie's creator: the tenth child of Polish-Jewish immigrants; a passionately competitive and creative business pioneer. This title presents the story of two women, and how together they indelibly changed American business and culture.
"This stirring biography is a fine study of success and resilience" -- Publishers Weekly "Gerber's smoothly-written biography paints a fearless business woman as a devoted wife, a too-busy mother and a rock-'em-sock-'em executive." -- New York Post "Barbie and her creator, the sharp-elbowed gal who built the biggest toy company, have a story to tell." -- Time magazine
Robin Gerber is the author of several books, including Leadership the Eleanor Roosevelt Way, Katharine Graham, and the novel Eleanor vs. Ike. She lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
