About this book

Book Summary

She was only eleven-and-a-half inches tall, but she would change the world. Barbie is born in this bold new novel by USA Today bestselling author Renée Rosen.

When Ruth Handler walks into the boardroom of the toy company she co-founded and pitches her idea for a doll unlike any other, she knows what she's setting in motion. It might just take the world a moment to catch up.

In 1956, the only dolls on the market for little girls let them pretend to be mothers. Ruth's vision for a doll shaped like a grown woman and outfitted in an enviable wardrobe will let them dream they can be anything.

As Ruth assembles her team of creative rebels—head engineer Jack Ryan who hides his deepest secrets behind his genius and designers Charlotte Johnson and Stevie Klein, whose hopes and dreams rest on the success of Barbie's fashion—she knows they're working against a ticking clock to get this wild idea off the ground.

In the decades to come—through soaring heights and devastating personal lows, public scandals and private tensions—each of them will have to decide how tightly to hold on to their creation. Because Barbie has never been just a doll—she's a legacy.

Discussion questions from the publisher, supplemented with original content from BookBrowse.
  1. Despite Ruth's intention to create a doll that would empower young girls, from the very beginning Barbie has been both celebrated and vilified. Do you think of Barbie as a feminist icon or a dangerous role model for women?
  2. Throughout this novel, you get a behind-the-scenes look at the development and creation of Barbie. For example, you learned the real reasons why her waist is so tiny, her feet are so small, her neck is so long, etc. Barbie's creators never lost sight of the fact that she was just a plastic figurine with anatomically impossible body measurements. And yet some people thought they were supposed to look like her. What is it about ...

Which of the main characters did you develop the most sympathy for? Are there any minor characters who stood out?
I felt sympathy actually for Elliot. He was stuck in the middle dealing with Jack, his wife Ruth, the office co- workers and his kids. I kept expecting that a divorce or a nervous breakdown was in his future.
-Lisa_H


Ruth and Jack were both instrumental in the creation of Barbie, and each took credit for the name and the doll itself. After Jack's tragic death, Ruth downplayed if not erased his contribution. Did you think Jack had a right to claim he created Barbie?
I consider the doll to be a joint project by Ruth and Jack. Both should be given credit. Ruth had the vision and concept, Jack was the engineering genius. Both were integral and couldn't have accomplished the finished product alone.
-Lisa_H


Did you play with Barbies as a child, or did you shave off all her hair in a fit of protest? Were you allowed to have Barbies, or did your parents forbid you to play with "that" doll?
Melissa, same for me. I had never even considered that it would be so controversial at that time but that makes sense considering the pop culture ( 50s shows, movies, clothes etc). I had my aunt and sister's Barbie's, my own, a car with a pop-up camping tent and of all things, the Barbie airplane...
-Lisa_H


Stevie plays a large role throughout the novel, yet she’s one of its fictional characters. Why do you suppose the author created her?
I wish Stevie's character would have been more fully fleshed out. I found her to be an interesting support character. Also, can you even imagine how stressful that office environment must have been? :flushed:
-Lisa_H


Overall, what did you think of Let’s Call Her Barbie? (no spoilers, please!)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. While many are probably Barbie-d out from the movie and the buzz around it, this was a refreshing point of view of the barbie doll development. I grew up with my aunt and sister's hand me down old dolls which ironically are described in book specifically the black ...
-Lisa_H


Ruth developed breast cancer in 1970, which led to the creation of Nearly Me. What did you think about her coming full circle in terms of her relationship with creating breasts for a doll for little girls and then creating breasts for grown women?
I was very surprised that Ruth created Nearly Me. I have a lot of respect for her and her drive. Her creation has helped so many women with breast cancer. Overall she changed the course for women from Barbie to bras
-Margaret_A


Jack Ryan was the unlikely Romeo of Mattel. What do you think it was about him that women found so irresistible? What did you think about his relationship with Stevie, or about Ruth's attempts to shortchange him on his royalties?
Jack gave women his full attention, really listened, and knew how to turn on the charm. He knew how to make women feel good about themselves. But he basically used the office as his own personal dating pool. He was pretty generous—taking women to fancy events, spending money on them, and even hel...
-Betty_Taylor


Ruth was a nontraditional woman for her time. She tried to have it all—a husband, children and a career. What are your thoughts about her as a mother and her relationship with Barbara? How do you think her own childhood impacted her views on motherhood?
Ruth faced the classic dilemma of trying to balance career and family, but her approach was shaped by her own upbringing. Since she lacked a nurturing maternal figure, it makes sense that she struggled with emotional connection as a mother. Elliott was the more nurturing parent, while Ruth poured...
-Betty_Taylor


How did you feel when you learned that Barbie was inspired by Bild Lilli, a German prostitute gag doll? Did that surprise you?
It was definitely a bit of a shock! The idea that the iconic Barbie, symbol of childhood imagination and endless career possibilities, was inspired by Bild Lilli was unexpected. The contrast between Barbie's wholesome marketing and Lilli's origins as a cheeky, sassy gag gift is fascinating. But i...
-Betty_Taylor


If you grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, which cultural references mentioned in the book were you familiar with? If you were born later, did you read about aspects of the era that surprised you?
I also grew up in the 60's and 70's and all the references in the book resonated with me! I remember seeing what choices my mother and other women had in terms of family and career – and since career options were so limited, there was heavy pressure on women to be mothers and "homemakers." I love...
-Ann_M


Ruth’s and Jack’s relationship eventually becomes “openly hostile” after Jack appears on What’s My Line?. Who do you think is to blame for its deterioration? Could anything have been done, in your opinion, to salvage it?
I worked long enough to realize that things get done the best if there was a team working on it. Jack didn't want to be a team player and wanted all of the glory for himself. I don't think that the relationship between Jack and Ruth could have been fixed based on Jack's attitude.
-Susan_Roberts


At eighteen, Barbara insists on marrying. Why do you believe Barbara feels she needs to take this step? Could Ruth and Elliot have done anything to prevent what they felt was a “horrible mistake”?
I think because Barbara had a less than normal childhood and in her mind came in second after the Barbie doll, that she was looking for a way to get away from her family and create a new family.
-Susan_Roberts


Growing Up Skipper came under fire from the NOW as soon as she was released. Can you cite other Barbie controversies through the years? What do you think about the Barbie line today?
I was grown up when they first introduced Skipper so I don't remember anything about it.
-Susan_Roberts


Were there scenes related to how women were viewed or treated during the era that surprised you? What aspects of a woman’s life have changed in the years since Barbie hit the shelves, and how, do you feel, Barbie has reflected these changes?
My mom worked when I was growing up so I always knew that women could work and just maybe get promoted. But I'll never forget trying to get my first credit card and being turned down unless my husband signed the forms. I think that some things have changed over the years – women are CEOs and have...

Barbie has had more than 200 careers over the decades. What were the most important milestones for Barbie, and how was she ahead of her time? If you played with Barbie dolls as a child, were there specific models or outfits that you remembered owning?
When I played with Barbie, there were no careers. I love her careers like nurse and firefighter.
-Terrie_J


Despite Ruth's intention to create a doll that would empower young girls, from the very beginning Barbie has been both celebrated and vilified. Do you think of Barbie as a feminist icon or a dangerous role model for women?
I think Barbie was an icon. She gave little girls the option of putting Barbie in charge when they played with her. She was beautiful and always happy. She also had her own home and car, which most women didn't have.
-Terrie_J


Barbie's creators never lost sight of the fact that the doll had anatomically impossible body measurements, yet som thought they were supposed to look like her. What is it about Barbie that you think separates her from other dolls and has this effect?
I never thought Barbie had an impossible body. I thought she was beautiful and had beautiful clothes when I played with her. Mattel's marketing worked. Barbie has changed through the years to make her more realistic.
-Terrie_J


What do you think of Ruth’s and Elliot’s relationship? Are you surprised they stayed married through their ups and downs? What part does each play in Barbie’s success, and in their family’s dynamics?
Ruth and Elliot had a relationship that was more of a working relationship than a love relationship. Their family worked because of this. I feel they stuck to together because they loved each other and their family.
-Terrie_J


After Ruth has her mastectomy, she’s struck by how few breast cancer survivors will talk about their stories. Why do you think this was? Do you think it’s still the case today? What has changed since Ruth was diagnosed with cancer, and what hasn’t?
At that time in history, it was inappropriate to talk about your breasts. Thankfully, that has changed, and the progress made toward breast cancer and choices women have about their appearance has increased positively. Open discussions have also provided support for breast cancer survivors.
-Terrie_J


Ruth felt that she "carries [Mattel] on her shoulders.” Do you agree with her assessment? What would have happened with Barbie had Ruth spent more time with her family? Is it possible to run a successful business without Ruth’s level of commitment?
Ruth was the driving force behind Mattel. I think one has to be that dedicated and involved to create something successful. Unfortunately, that took time away from her family. If she hadn't been that involved, Barbie would have been a very different doll (possibly failure) and Mattel would not ha...

Media Reviews

"Rosen vividly portrays her characters and deftly balances covering both the highs and lows of their personal lives and the professional challenges that arise along the way, from designing the first Dreamhouse to responding to criticism…With cultural interest in Barbie still sky high, this novel is a great choice for historical fiction readers interested in strong, complex women, both in and out of the toy aisle." —Library Journal (starred review)

"A fictional retelling of Barbie's origin story, from Ruth's first brainstorm until she leaves Mattel in the 1970s, Rosen's novel is infused with pathos and wit."  —Kirkus Reviews

"As the narrative stretches into the 1970s, Rosen fleshes out intriguing subplots involving the Barbie fashion team, including designer Charlotte Johnson. Barbie fans will delight in Rosen's epic reimagining of the doll's origin story." —Publishers Weekly

"What a fresh and fun take on Barbie lore! Let's Call Her Barbie pulls off a feat: while digging deep into the history behind America's favorite doll, it's also a clever and satisfying exploration of creativity, feminism, and what it truly means to make art. And although the movie and the book are unrelated in this case, and the movie was fantastic… you know what they always say about the book being better." —Shelby Van Pelt, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Remarkably Bright Creatures

"Renée Rosen's novel about the creators of the Barbie doll is inspired and brilliant. This is a tale of driven personalities who won't take no for an answer, of the obstacles that faced women in business in the mid-20th century, and of the complex relationships between creatives working in a team. As a former Barbie girl myself, I was riveted!" —Gill Paul, international bestselling author of Scandalous Women

"Think you know Barbie? Think again, in this delightful, fast-paced, compassionate, and well-researched story, Renee Rosen skillfully takes everything you think you know and turns it on its head, telling us the real story of the feisty, strong, original woman who created America's most loved and most hated doll. Choose this one for your book club if you want the conversation to flow. I promise you everyone will want to talk about this excellent and fascinating book." —Elizabeth Letts, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Ride of Her Life

"The story of how Barbie came to be is as iconic as the doll herself. Renee Rosen's research and deft writing bring Barbie - and those who brought her into the world - to vivid pink life and make Let's Call Her Barbie a riveting read for anyone who loves historical fiction, strong women (real and otherwise), Barbie the doll, Barbie the movie, or stories about the American dream. As an avid lover and collector of Barbies - at a time when society often looked as harshly at me as it once did the doll - this story spoke to my heart and spirit and made me love my beloved Barbies even more. The first must-read of 2025! It's DOLL-ing!" —Viola Shipman, USA Today bestselling author of The Page Turner

"Bold. Tenacious. Resolute. Renee Rosen's Let's Call Her Barbie vividly brings to life the incredible journey of Ruth Handler, the woman behind the iconic doll. Through impeccable research and masterful storytelling, Rosen captures Handler's fierce determination and the challenges she faced as a woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated world. Impossible to put down, this is a riveting portrayal of a flawed yet awe-inspiring visionary. I thought I knew Barbie's story, but Rosen's unflinching portrayal of the doll's meteoric rise, and the players behind it, proves there's much more to this tale. An absolute must-read." —Karma Brown, #1 international bestselling author of What Wild Women Do

Let’s Call her Barbie
I found this book fascinating. Rosen brings to life the personalities of the staff working to make the doll. The story narrates all the problems in bringing an idea into an actual product and then selling that product to the consumer.

Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel Toy company, was the force behind the creation of Barbie. Because of her personal experience with breast cancer and business clout she was able to spearhead the creation of the improved and more realistic mastectomy bra for breast cancer survivors.

I believe this boom is a great one for book club discussions

Barbie!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but once I got into it I thought it was fantastic. It was a great story about the work behind the scenes to create the first Barbie doll but it also took me down memory lane as I thought about my first Barbie doll. The first doll was sold in March, 1959. I was past playing with baby dolls but that year, my friends and I all HAD to have a Barbie doll. We spent endless hours changing her clothes, combing her hair and making up stories about her life.

Ruth Handler, co-founder of Mattel Toy company, walked into the board room in 1956 with a doll that she had found in Germany. She wanted to create this doll for America. At first the other members in the meeting were surprised. This wasn't a baby doll like girls were playing with all over the world - this was a woman with real life attributes. They didn't see any way that this doll would be accepted. But Ruth was a strong woman who insisted that they give it a try. She assembled a team to work on the creation of the doll - an engineer who used to work for an aerospace company, clothes designers and engineers started working on what it would take to bring Barbie to the public. This was a totally new design and they ran into a lot of roadblocks but she felt like this was what little girls needed and insisted that they continue to work on the doll. In 1959, the first year of sales, Mattel sold 300,000 Barbie dolls and it became the must-have toy for girls.

I found it so interesting to read about all of the challenges that the team at Mattel faced in bringing the doll to reality. Even after the doll entered the market, there were ups and downs over the years. During the women's movement, the Barbie doll was deemed as bad for teaching young girls the wrong way to handle their futures. Mattel countered by introducing Barbie in many different roles -- as an astronaut, a nurse, a doctor and a pilot to name a few.

Be sure to read the Author's notes at the end of the book. She did significant research on the creation of the Barbie doll at Mattel and she shares a little about the real people in the novel and which characters only existed in her mind. There are also some great pictures of some of the Barbie dolls over the years.

I grew up playing with and collecting Barbie Dolls. I SO wish I had saved them. Vintage Barbie dolls now are worth a ba-zillion dollars, plus they hold so many memories.

Bestselling author, Renee Rosen has written the definite, well-researched book about how the eleven and a half inches tall doll, became a legacy, Let's Cal Her Barbie (Berkley).

In the world of toy dolls in the 50s there were dozens of baby dolls, peeing dolls, whining dolls, dolls of every kind, except a doll that let young girls know they could become anything they wanted to be when she grew up. Enter Ruth Handler, of Mattel who saw the German Bild Lilli doll while travelling in Switzerland and knew this is what the American market needed.

The first Barbie debuted at the New York toy fair in March 1959. Mattel sold 300-thousand Barbies that year and the sales skyrocketed from there. Barbie dolls started being designed and taking jobs in male-oriented fields like an airline pilot, NASCAR driver and going into space. Barbie has been part of the American zeitgeist starting in1960 when she became a tennis player paving the way for Title IX.

Let's Cal Her Barbie is an incredibly interesting story you won't to miss. Who knew there was so much history behind a plastic doll.

Riveting, engrossing, unputdownable!
Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for a digital advance reader copy. All comments and opinions are my own.

This was an unputdownable, well-researched historical fiction that blurred the lines between fact and fiction in a fascinating multi-layered story. It tells how the Barbie doll was created, how Ruth Handler originated the vision of Barbie and was the motivator behind the cultural phenomenon. It’s also the story of the Mattel Corporation, from its 1945 origins as a two-person toy developer to a multinational toy manufacturing and entertainment company. And it's Ruth’s personal story, as well as the story of Jack Ryan, engineer and Barbie co-developer. And fictional designer Stevie Klein also plays a major role in rounding out the various themes of the book.

My sister and I had one of the earliest Barbies, and reading about her development was fascinating – the behind-the scenes inspiration, the mechanical manufacturing as well as the marketing, the clothes and accessories – this was riveting. As Barbie’s success grew, so did the Mattel company, and the story of the company’s development, with its ups and downs, was also engrossing.

Alongside the business aspects, author Rosen told the personal stories of Ruth, Jack and Stevie. Sometimes they were working together, sometimes in competition, but always with Mattel and Barbie’s success as motivating factors.

I found myself rooting for Ruth throughout the novel. She was a nontraditional woman of the time. I didn’t know her motivation for creating Barbie was to set a new example for young girls, to “show them a different road they can walk down, one where marriage and children could be a stop along the way rather than a foregone conclusion, and definitely not the end of their journey.”

A feminist theme runs throughout the novel as Rosen repeats Ruth’s desire for Barbie “to connect with all those little girls out there. She wanted Barbie to be their role model and show them what it meant to be feminine and strong. That if they want to get married and have children, that’s fine, but they can still have a life of their own. Barbie was supposed to deliver a new, fresh message for the next generation to grow into.”

Whether or not you had a Barbie or saw the recent movie, this is an important book that tells the story of a strong woman who is determined to follow her vision of providing more career and lifestyle options for girls and young women. I highly recommend this one!
