90s Careers

Throughout the ‘90s, expanded career options meant women were graduating from higher education programs, breaking into executive roles, and becoming doctors, attorneys, and scholars. Dress codes relaxed and many women opted for suits with softer lines and fabrics.

In the 1990s, Barbie, too, continued to build her resume and become a veterinarian, pediatric, surgeon, paleontologist and pilot.

This momentum was captured in 1992 after the election of several female senators in the United States. The so-called “Year of the Woman” was the perfect chance for Barbie to make her run for president for the first time. She has run in 7 presidential elections since!
