Show Notes

Did you know Barbie’s original design was based on a 1952 German comic-strip featuring a sassy high-class escort called Bild Lilli? It took Ruth Handler, the co-creator of Barbie, years to convince her male colleagues that Barbie would be a hit. She has come a long way since then. She’s an astronaut, a doctor, a teacher, has ran for president multiple times, and owns over 40 pets. Unfortunately, Mattel has made many missteps over the years trying to modernize Barbie, as well as Ruth getting in trouble for financial fraud.
