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.
