Barbie’s Wisconsin Roots
While Barbie is known for Malibu, her origins are in Wisconsin. Ruth Handler, Mattel’s co-founder, conceived Barbie Millicent Roberts in Willows, Wisconsin, a wholesome, Midwestern setting that predates her glamorous image. This “Wisconsin Barbie” represented possibility and independence. As Mattel grew, Barbie’s narrative shifted to Malibu, transforming her into a global fashion icon and symbol of the Californian dream. Despite her current glamorous address, Barbie’s true beginning remains in Wisconsin.
