Accurate and involving for anyone interested in any business.
Well written and accurate story with engaging characters who were driven to succeed in different markets of the toy industry, at a time when women were not seen as business leaders. A married couple, Ruth was the creator of Barbie while Elliot is best known as the creator of Hot Wheels. Together with a third but short term partner, they founded the Mattel toy company.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
