Madam. C.J. Walker, the first self-made female millionaire in the U.S., is the next female role model to be honored in Barbie's line of Inspiring Women dolls.
Walker, the daughter of former slaves, was born as Sarah Breedlove. She achieved enormous success by founding Walker Manufacturing Co., a line of haircare products and cosmetics designed for Black women, and employed thousands of Black women at her company.
The Madam C.J. Walker doll features a rendition of the entrepreneur wearing a floral printed blouse and turquoise skirt and holding her original product, "Wonderful Hair Grower." "It was a joy to work with Barbie on the design and creation of an Inspiring Women doll made in the likeness of my great-great grandmother, Madam C.J. Walker," said Bundles in the statement.
For Mattel, the toy is an opportunity to inspire children to break boundaries and educate them about Walker's trailblazing career.
