Здравствуйте, svrvsvrv!

More than one billion (0) have been sold in 150 different countries since her first appearance at the New York Toy Fair in 1959. Created by Ruth Handler, the daughter of Polish immigrants, and originally known as the Teenage Fashion Model, she was a perky blue-eyed blonde, with a pony tail and a black-and-white swimsuit.
It was while she was watching her daughter Barbara playing with cut-outs of adult women then Handler came up with the idea. Over the time, dolls in America always took the form of babies. When she first proposed a prototype to executives at the toy company, Mattel, she was turned down. Later, however, Handler won over the all-male management, and the first toy doll in the USA with breasts went into production.
By the late sixties, she was enjoying the same type of fame as the Beatles. As her world expanded, so that the profits, and she was making well over $100 million a year for Mattel. She took on numerous different identities, such as astronaut, vet or surgeon and she acquired many friends, notably Ken, whose name came from Handler's son.
She was not without her critics. Her shapely figure was essentially unattainable and feminists attacked Handler for presenting young girls with an image of adult beauty they could never achieve. Handler was not bothered by this. 'My whole philosophy was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to become,' she later wrote.
