Celebrate Barbie's sixty-fifth anniversary in a book dedicated to the fascinating history of the world's most popular doll.

With an identity outside of her family, Barbie represented a surprising modern shift, opening up the imagination of what a doll (and a woman) could be. Decade after decade, the title explores the evolution of the Barbie doll from 1959 to the present with fascinating facts, insights and never-before-seen images.
