Step into the story of Let's Call Her Barbie at Sheepshead Bay Library on August 15th, 2025, for an engaging book discussion!
This month, we're diving into “Let's Call Her Barbie”,
"She's an icon. She's fun and aspirational. She's stirring controversy and outrage. Her name is Barbie. In 1956, Ruth Handler, cofounder of a budding toy company, embarks on a mission to upend the marketplace by creating a controversial doll: one that looks like a grown woman. Unlike the current trend of baby dolls that reinforces traditional roles of motherhood, this doll will empower little girls to be and do anything. And Barbie is born. Not everyone sees Barbie as a positive influence, but Ruth knows this doll is destined for greatness.”
