With più than 150 careers on her resume – spanning from registered nurse to rock star, veterinarian to aerobics instructor, pilot to police officer – Barbie doll continues to take on aspirational and culturally relevant roles while also serving as a role model and agent of change for girls. She first broke the “plastic ceiling” in the 1960s when, as an astronaut, she went to the moon… four years before Neil Armstrong.

In the 80s she took to the boardroom as “Day to Night” CEO Barbie, just as women began to break into the C-suite. And in the 90s, she ran for President, before any female candidate ever made it onto the presidential ballot.
