Classi Lectures together with Beth Tikvah Synagogue
She was only eleven-and-a-half inches tall, but she would change the world. Barbie is born in this bold new novel by USA Today bestselling author Renée Rosen.
Ruth Handler, co-founder of a toy company, pitches a revolutionary idea in 1956: a doll shaped like a grown woman, inspiring girls to dream beyond motherhood. Assembling a team of creative rebels, including engineer Jack Ryan and designers Charlotte Johnson and Stevie Klein, they race against time to bring Barbie to life. Over the decades, through triumphs, scandals, and personal struggles, they grapple with the weight of their creation. Barbie, they realize, is more than a doll—she’s a lasting legacy.
