She was a writer, known for Detective Barbie: Mystery of the Carnival Caper (1998), Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar (2012) and Barbie (1991). She was married to Elliot Handler.
In 1978, she and several other former officers of Mattel were indicted on charges of fraud and false reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission. She pleaded no contest to the charges, which investigators said resulted from attempts to influence stock prices, and was fined and sentenced to community service.
She was a founder of Mattel and helped run the company for 30 years, until she and her husband, then co-chairmen, resigned in 1975.
She was found to have breast cancer in 1970 and had her left breast removed. She later developed a line of artificial breasts made of foam and silicon that she called "Nearly Me". She ran the breast prosthesis company, Ruthton Corporation, for 15 years, before selling it to a division of Kimberly-Clark.
"Barbie the teenage model" made its début at the American Toy Fair in 1959, becoming the success of the New York show with 350,000 units sold in the first year
In 1942 they teamed up with another industrial designer, Harold "Matt" Mattson, to launch a business manufacturing picture frames. They later launched a sideline making dollhouse furniture. Within a few years, the company turned profitable and began to specialize in toys. It was called Mattel, fashioned from the "Matt" in Matson and "El" in Elliot.

Her mother was illiterate when she arrived in the United States in the steerage section of the steamship. Her mother's health was so frail that Mrs.Handler was reared by an older sister.
