How Maya Angelou Inspired a Barbie Doll in Her Honor

A statement to the press from Mattel reads, "[Mattel] knows children's early childhood experiences shape what they imagine to be possible, so it's important that all girls not only see themselves reflected in product and content, but to also see role models who've come before them."

According to the official description from Barbie, the doll "holds a miniature replica of her prolific autobiography, while wearing a head wrap and floor-length dress with floral print." Accessories include a "golden ring, bracelet, watch, and earrings."
