Starting in 1959, Matel began producing ‘Career Girl’ Barbie dolls. Each year the plucky blonde would have a new gig. Barbie worked as a Teenage Fashion Model, a Fashion Designer, and a Registered Nurse. In 1963 the Career Girl’s job title was simply named: ‘Executive.’:

After Congress passes the first Equal Pay Act, Barbie can rest assured she’ll remain a top-earning executive. With a two-piece tweed suit and matching hat, red sleeveless pullover with long black gloves, and black shoes, Barbie makes a statement that she is ready for any project her busy job throws her way.

You know who our favorite Executive Career Girl is, right?
