Join Intellectual Property Law Expert, Sharon Givoni on a journey into the fascinating realm of Barbie!


EXPLORE A SPECIAL DISPLAY OF RARE AND UNIOUE BARBIE DOLLS FROM A COLLECTORS VAST COLLECTION.

While many recognise Barbie as just a pretty doll or a character in movies, there is a lot more to her story. Our speaker, Sharon Givoni, will take you on a captivating journey through Barbie's history, tracing her roots back to Ruth Handler, a Jewish feminist who created more than just a toy and her vision of empowerment to the debates over Barbie's impact on gender norms and beauty standards.

• Explore the depth of her influence on culture and society.

• Track Barbie through the years, examining the politics, stories and adventure that has shaped her journey.

• Discover Barbie's evolution in popular culture, including her legal battles, in her role in feminist discussions and her portrayal in the media.

The proceeds of your participation will contribute to the WIZO Emergency Appeal, providing immediate relief for Israeli victims of the war.
