For International Women’s Day, Mattel is hoping to inspire young girls to embrace the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by honoring a select group of female STEM pioneers with their own Barbie doll

Barbie isn’t one to be pigeonholed into a profession just because she’s a woman. She’s had an impressive 200 careers on her resume — doctor, astronaut, computer engineer, CEO and even presidential candidate. For International Women’s Day on March 8, Mattel is hoping to inspire young girls to embrace the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics by honoring a select group of STEM pioneers with their own Barbie doll. Among them are the Wojcicki sisters — Susan , Anne and Janet .

” Mattel said these one-of-a-kind dolls are not for sale and will be gifted to the women who inspired them. According to Mattel, Barbie herself has held more than 40 different STEM careers, including astrophysicist, space scientist, doctor and robotics engineer. While women in the real world make up half of the US workforce, they still only make up less than one-third of the STEM workforce.

Lol. It'd be great if you could have only white boys in your Olympiad Math teams! Good luck!

For women’s day, we are going to do a feature on dolls. So progressive.

This is just so biggoted. Wheres the trans representation? Trans woman are women. I say we protest this transphobic day.

Name a kid today who isn't addicted to their tablet.

LOL

You do not promote women by selling Barbie dolls. Or by promoting men in women’s sports. You ensure that women have equal access to promotion to higher wage earning capabilities and treat them not like dolls but like equal partners in business.
