Rosa Parks and Sally Ride among the latest icons to be honored by Mattel with their own Barbie Doll's

The past few months have seen many of our favourite icons and celebrities being honored by multinational U.S. manufacturing company Mattel with their very own Barbie's.

Among those who have received this special honour is SA's very own Lira as well as Yara Shahidi, Naomi Osaka, Frida Kahlo and model Ashley Graham.

The dolls were designed to closely resemble the inspiring women and are available with an educational background that allows buyers to learn more about their history and what makes them inspirational.
