Mongodb query data between a Date Range

Let say we have a collection called 'users' with the following schema:

{
	name:String,
    birth_date:Date,
}

We would like to query all persons born from 01-01-1990 to 01-01-1991:

db.users.find({birth_date:{$gte:new Date("01-01-1990"), $lt:new Date("01-01-1991")}})
