The Barbie Inspiring Women Series honors remarkable women from history—trailblazers who broke barriers, defied expectations, and inspired future generations of girls to dream without limits.

The Barbie Inspiring Women Series celebrates extraordinary women from history—brave individuals who challenged the status quo, broke boundaries, and opened doors for generations of girls to dream bigger. Born into slavery in 1862, Ida B. Wells rose to become a trailblazing journalist and fearless advocate for civil rights and women's suffrage. She co-owned and edited a Memphis newspaper, boldly writing about the injustices faced by African-Americans. Wells—later known as Wells-Barnett—also co-founded the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs and helped establish the NAACP. This collectible Barbie doll, crafted in her likeness and dressed in a classic blue gown with lace accents, pays tribute to Ida B. Wells’ inspiring legacy and powerful voice. Includes a doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity. Doll cannot stand on its own. Colors and decorations may vary.
