In 1994, Ruth wrote in her autobiography:
“My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through this doll, a little girl could try out any role she wants. Barbie always reflected the fact that a woman has a choice”.

However, when they first introduced this toy, it did not like the parents of girls. They did not meet Barbie very warmly.

Ruth had a massive advertising campaign, and she spent a lot of money on advertising, and the children noticed the doll. The doll was sold very cheaply, almost at cost. The kids were thrilled!

They felt that Barbie dolls would sell even better if there were other versions to buy. They gave a choice of hairstyles, hair colors, and clothing styles.
