Congratulations to Barbie (as in the doll). She is celebrating her 60th birthday this year and making some big changes.

How about there's a new line of dolls being created in honor of International Women’s Day and they’re all based off of inspiring real-life women.

Barbie’s new collection will honor 20 influential women, from all shapes and sizes and from multiple continents. They speak a total of 13 different languages and range from the ages of 19 to 85 years old.

Lisa McKnight is Barbie’s General Manager and Senior Vice President, and said “The Barbie brand believes girls should never know a world, job, or dream women haven’t conquered.”

Amen to that!
