AGARTALA, March 11 (TIWN): From Dipa Karmakar to Naomi Osaka, Barbie Company honours 20 women heroes on its 60th Birthday.
Growing up Barbie was one of the first toys that most kids played with, imagined fantastical scenarios for, and held close to her heart.
While controversial in the past, Barbie has always had a legacy of little girls seeing themselves in her. It has also grown to become more inclusive of real women of different races, body types, professions and so on over the years.
Because on it's 60th birthday Barbie decided to honour 20 different role models across 18 different countries, and celebrate their unique achievements and capabilities.
Barbie, that has evolved over the years and helped spread culturally inclusive and inspirational messages, chose real women with stories, careers, and ambitions that helped them become of the force they are today.
Women like the first Indian gymnast to compete at the Olympics, Dipa Karmakar.
