Elizabeth ascended the throne on the death of her father King George VI on Feb. 6, 1952. She is the longest-ruling Monarch in the history of the British. In 1952, when she came to rule, women were not welcome by society to work outside of their homes. However, it was not easy for her to prove the narrow mentality of society wrong by facing them alone. But she has proven them wrong and the British Women of today is having equal rights as British Men.
Whereas, Kate Williams, historian, and author of “Our Queen Elizabeth,” said in a statement via Mattel, “As Her Majesty celebrates this milestone jubilee it is wonderful to see an iconic brand like Barbie share important historical female figure’s impact as leaders, creators, and pioneers to new generations.“
