Rounded up to four. Ruth Handler, a president of Mattel, worked tirelessly in the 50's and beyond to create the perfect doll for girls around the world. The book was super quick and very small. Still, there were tidbits I had not known before reading. All things Barbie have and will interest me until I am long gone. What a great creation, with a following that continues to grow daily. Ruth was a true fire starter.
