How competition forced Barbie to step into the 21st century

Sharing my opinion piece published this weekend in The Hill - based on my research and book You Don't Own Me.

and some news about the book rights acquired by CBS to become a mini-series.

The essay in The Hill compares the vanilla self-mockery of Mattel as a corporation run by incompetent white men and the reality of Mattel as a corporation run by ruthless white men, having used the sword of litigation to crush competitors, artists, musicians, and creative challenges to the Barbie brand.
