Synopsis

For over fifty years, Barbie has helped young girls come of age in the midst of an ever-changing social climate, but what do we really know about her?  Female Force: Barbie tells the story of how America’s favorite fashion doll emerged from the seedy underworld of German sex symbols and cigarette shop gag gifts to become one of history’s most iconic women.

As featured on CNN, FOX News, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, LA Times, OK Magazine, and MSNBC! Female Force is a series that features biographies on strong, independent women that have made a difference in the world. Read about the creator of the Barbie doll! 

About this title

Review

"I never knew the sordid roots of such a sweet and innocent toy. It's peachy to draw as there's a humour that runs through the great writing and history which allows me to inject some comedy and fun into the art." says artist Neil Alexander.

Obviously, the moment we discovered the existence of this gem, we needed to have it. Good Reads

Barbie and her creators, specifically Handler, are so iconic that it is hard to come up with something to say that hasn't been said, but I'm confident that this book will leave her (Barbie and Handler) maybe a bit exposed," issue author Tara Broeckel
