Barbie, whose full name is Barbara Millicent Roberts, was introduced to the world on March 9, 1959. Throughout her history, she has taken on over 250 careers, including an astronaut, pilot, firefighter, journalist, and entrepreneur. Notably, Barbie traveled to space in 1965, four years prior to the moon landing, and ran for president for the first time in 1992, participating in nearly every subsequent election. In 1973, she broke barriers as a surgeon during a time when female representation in that field was scarce, and by 1985, she assumed the role of CEO in the “Day to Night” Barbie line, reflecting the advancement of women in leadership roles.
