Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the 2015 History Colorado Center talk with Tanya Lee Stone about her book The Good, the Bad, and the Barbie: A Doll's History and Her Impact on Us.

Tanya Lee Stone came to the History Colorado Center to discuss her book as a special event related to the exhibit Toys of the '50's, '60's, and '70's, which was at the HCC at that time. Some things Stone discussed in her talk were Ruth Handler's history, the creation of Barbie, Barbie's impact on society, and Stone's own thoughts on her writing -- namely her idea of writing "true stories" as opposed to "nonfiction."

Here is a quick segment Denver 8 TV about the HCC's Toys exhibit.
