Description
The Barbie Inspiring Women Series pays tribute to incredible heroines of their time; courageous women who took risks, changed rules and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger than ever before. Despite being born into slavery in 1862, Ida B. Wells became a pioneering journalist and outspoken activist for civil rights and women’s suffrage. She co-owned and edited a Memphis newspaper where she courageously wrote about inequality affecting African-Americans. In addition, Wells (later known as Wells-Barnett) co-founded the National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Sculpted to her likeness and wearing a traditional blue dress with lace details, this collectible Barbie doll honors Ida B. Wells’ courageous activism and remarkable accomplishments. Doll stand and Certificate of Authenticity included. Doll cannot stand alone. Colors and decorations may vary.

It never fails that the box that the doll that I order is always terrible. This was a gift and I do not like giving gifts with damaged boxes. I was going to return the doll and pick out another one that was not damaged but I was pressed for time. Ultimately, it was embarrassing.
Get yours before they are gone!

The Box Is Beat Up. It Was Open When I Opened The Package It Came In. The Head Was Turnt. I Planned On Putting This Doll On Display In My Living Room With The Other Dolls I Collected But The Box Is Beat Up All Over. They Should've Packaged A Doll With A Better Box And Shioped It In An Actual Box Instead Of A Bag So The Box Wouldn't Be Beat Up. The Glue Is Even Coming Off The Box. You Can Tell Someone Had This Doll Before. I Am Highly Upset About This Purchase. I Really Want The Doll But Don't Want To Display It Due To The Beat Up Box. I Will Purchase It From Somewhere Else And Not Shop On Target Website Anymore

Love everything about this doll and this collection that Barbie/Mattel has done. Only thing is I wish the hair line on them were made with the doll hair and not drawn/painted on
