Barbie is more than just a fashion doll—she's a cultural icon whose evolution reflects changing societal norms and aspirations. Barbie debuted on March 9, 1959, at the American International Toy Fair in New York City. Created by Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel, Barbie was inspired by the German Bild Lilli doll, which Handler encountered during a trip to Europe. Over the decades, Barbie has mirrored societal changes, from embodying the idealized beauty standards of the 1960s to embracing diverse body types, ethnicities, and professions in recent years.
