The Inspiring Women Series by Barbie 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. Rosa Louise Parks, hailed as "the Mother of the Modern Civil Rights Movement," is one such heroine whose quiet strength played a notable role in the civil rights movement.

On December 1, 1955, Mrs. Parks' act of defiance, when she refused an order to give up her seat to a white passenger and move to the back of the bus, became the catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Though it would still take another nine years and more struggles before the 1964 Civil Rights Act overruled existing segregations laws, Rosa Parks' brave stand that day helped to ignite a powerful movement for change.

Recognized worldwide for her courageous actions, Rosa Parks was awarded the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal of Honor, among numerous other accolades. The Inspiring Women Series Barbie doll is sculpted to Rosa Parks' likeness, fully articulated for endless posing possibilities.

This Barbie doll, dressed in a floral dress under a smart wool coat, complete with accessories such as glasses, gloves, a pillbox hat, and a clutch, pays tribute to the profound impact of Rosa Parks' life and legacy. Included with the doll are a stand and a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring the authenticity and quality of this commemorative piece.

Through this Inspiring Women Series, Barbie recognizes all female role models, celebrating the incredible heroines who have paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger and achieve more than ever before. The Rosa Parks Barbie doll stands as a testament to the power of individual courage and the transformative impact it can have on the world.
