Dr. Susan Asbury, assistant professor of history at MGA, sits down with 13 WMAZ to discuss the history of Barbie and how Mattel's doll "has always been an icon of imagination and inspiration for women."
"'As a doll, I really think she is about imaginative play - the sky's the limit,' Asbury explained. 'In addition to the fashion consciousness piece, they've also made Barbie this independent woman who has her own house and has multiple cars and other property, and works in a variety of capacities.'
With the array of jobs that Barbie has had, she has also helped women expand their horizons and shoot for the stars."
