About this title: The remarkable true story of "Barbie's Mom", Ruth Handler--who, 35 years ago, battled sexism and scorn to design and launch the most popular toy in history. Handler candidly relates how, at the height of her success, she was struck by breast cancer and returned to the business world to market her personally designed breast prosthesis.
