NOTES
"A novel" -- Cover
"When Ruth Handler walks into the boardroom of the toy company she co-founded and pitches her idea for a doll unlike any other, she knows what she's setting in motion. In 1956, the only dolls on the market for little girls let them pretend to be mothers. Ruth's vision for a doll shaped like a grown woman and outfitted in an enviable wardrobe will let them dream they can be anything. As Ruth assembles her team of creative rebels, she knows they're working against a ticking clock to get this idea off the ground. In the decades to come, each of them will have to decide how tightly to hold on to their creation. Because Barbie has never been just a doll--she's a legacy."
