It's safe to say that the majority of young girls have had at least one Barbie doll in their lives. I had around a hundred Barbies when I was younger, this is probably not an exaggeration. I remember being in the store and going to the toy department and being so excited.

I would practically beg and occasionally bargain with my mom for a new Barbie to add to the plethora of dolls I had at home. There was a Barbie for just about anything and I felt that all of them should be mine. Everything from Gymnastics Barbie to Mermaid Barbie were there for me to pick from.

When I got older, it didn't occur to me that for some kids they might not feel represented or that there weren't Barbies that looked like them.

Now Barbie is definitely changing the game and introducing dolls for everyone. Over the past 58 years, Barbie has been a big supporter of girls being who they want to be and getting to do whatever they want. When you think about it, Barbie has a doll for just about every career and activity that you can think of to show this idea, 180 careers to be specific.

This is exactly what the creator of Barbie, Ruth Handler, had in mind when she first created the doll.

"My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through dolls, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices."

In recent years Barbie has started their own line called 'Sheroes'. These are dolls that represent women who have been inspiring and broken boundaries. The 'Sheroes' line can represent anyone from actresses, athletes, singers, dancers, models, etc. Each woman in any of these categories is honored with their own doll that is an exact replica of them and is either a permanent or limited edition in the Barbie collection. There are now 11 'Sheroes' that belong in this Barbie collection.

Barbie has taken great steps towards recognizing role models for young girls and showing that it's possible for them to be anything they set their minds to. By expanding this collection, Barbie will continue to represent the idea that Ruth Handler had about all the choices for women. I can't wait to see what extraordinary woman becomes Barbie's next 'Shero'.
