The Barbie Inspiring Women series pays tribute to incredible heroines of their time - brave women who took risks, changed the rules, and paved the way for generations of girls to dream big. Madam C. J. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove in 1867 on a cotton plantation in the Delta of Louisiana. The daughter of former slaves and poor laborers, Walker would become a successful entrepreneur and the country's first recorded self-made female millionaire. Barbie honors her determination with a collectible doll, complete with the "Madam C.J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower" badge, making it a striking addition to any collection.
