  • Renee Rosen - Let's Call Her Barbie

    Renee Rosen - Let's Call Her Barbie
    Aug 1 2025

    I am a big fan of Renee Rosen and her historical fiction novels that revolve around strong, glamorous women—Estée Lauder, Helen Gurley Brown, Alva Vanderbilt, Mrs. Marshall Fields. In this podcast episode, we discuss her latest book, LET’S CALL HER BARBIE. The woman behind the story? Ruth Handler, who co-founded the Mattel Toy Company with her husband, Elliott.

    Renee and I discuss LET’S CALL HER BARBIE, the Mickey Mouse Club, Mattel Toys, the Sears Toy catalog, and Barbie conventions. We swoon over the Barbie wardrobe, her dress designers and dressmakers.
