I enjoyed this biography of Ruth Handler - creator of Barbie.

The book really pulls together the full arc of Ruth's life, both personal and professional.

Written in chronological order and very easy to follow.

I was amazed at the obstacles she overcame and the personal drive she brought to every part of her life.
