Offers Barbie

Barbie is a doll created in the 60s by the Mattel company and has been an icon of normative feminine women for many years. It has been the favorite toy of many girls throughout history and we have been able to see how Barbie evolved at the same pace that society has done. To find out where the idea for Barbie came from , let's learn a little about the history of the Mattel company.

The creation of this company was born from the idea of two friends who wanted to create a company that they named after the union of their own (Matt de Matson and El de Eliot), in which they sold frames for photographs and then they started to investigate the toy business since Eliot started by making furniture for dollhouses for his young daughter and since this activity was more profitable than the previous one, they decided to put aside the business of photo frames to enter the world of toys.

In 1947, they launched a product that revolutionized the market and obtained a much more valuable result than other articles of the company. We are talking about the ukulele made of plastic and of a small size, adapted to children so that they have the opportunity to enter the world of music and discover new experiences. It was considered a very educational toy that could bring out many skills in children, so parents did not think twice when buying the toy.

As a result of this fact, the Mattel company decided to reorient the entire business to the manufacture of toys and year after year the company was becoming very popular in the sector since with its plastic and metal toys they updated the image and usefulness of the products being more attractive and functional. Until the Boom: Barbie. Ruth Handler was Eliot's wife and owner of the company since, months after it was founded, Matson had to sell his share of the company to Ruth due to health problems. She watched her daughter play with dolls that simulated babies or little girls and with cutouts of paper women that came in the newspaper. That was when he came up with the most millionaire idea from Mattel, which was to create Barbie , a three-dimensional doll with an image of an adult woman that girls could comb and dress to play with them and their lives as "people greater".

Ruth struggled to get the Mattel management team to accept the idea, but after she got it, the manufacturing and marketing of Barbie was launched. The success was instantaneous and incredible in such a way that two years after launch, they created the male version that was sold as Barbie's boyfriend: Ken. The following years were dedicated to producing more and more Barbies, friends, accessories, professions, houses, cars ... people and, especially girls, loved this world and no one would compete with them since it was the favorite gift of any girl for many years.

Although a few years ago Barbies were created with the reflection of the macho and patriarchal society of the moment, today you can find Barbies who perform jobs as a doctor, firefighter, astronaut, lawyer ... and not just mothers, teachers and nurses.
