In this interview, I chat with Renee Rosen about Let's Call Her Barbie, the story of how Barbie came to be, why Barbie looks like she does, what Renee couldn't include, the editing process, her title and cover, and much more.

Renee's recommended reads are:

1. 
   The Lost Passenger by Frances Quinn


2. 
   The Many Lives and Loves of Hazel Lavery by Lois Cahall
