Barbie honors Rosa Parks and Sally Ride with new dolls: They made the 'world a better place' WomensEqualityDay
Just in time for Women’s Equality Day on Monday, Mattel announced the latest additions to its “Inspiring Women” Barbie collection: Rosa Parks and Sally Ride.
“Each doll features authentic clothing and unique accessories, plus educational information about the honoree’s contributions to society, so girls can be inspired by their stories through play,” Mattel officials said, noting that the new dolls honor two women who made history “by breaking boundaries and making the world a better place for future generations of girls.”
Parks’ name and likeness quickly became a national symbol, with her story of courage taught to children around the world. In 2013, she became the first Black woman honored with a life-size statue in the National Statuary Hall of the Capitol, according to the New York Times.In 1983, Ride boarded the Space Shuttle Challenger for a six-day space mission as a specialist using the shuttle’s robotic arm to deploy communications satellites, CNN reported.
