Barbie dolls have been an iconic part of children’s playtime for over six decades, but now they’re doing something more than just providing entertainment. Mattel, the company behind the dolls, has released a new collection of six dolls that honour female healthcare workers who have been on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
These six dolls were inspired by real-life female healthcare workers who have worked tirelessly to save lives during the pandemic. These women were selected based on their contributions to the healthcare industry, their stories of bravery and selflessness, and their unwavering dedication to their profession. The dolls were created as a way to pay tribute to these unsung heroes and inspire children to look up to real-life superheroes.

The collection features six dolls, each with their own unique outfit and accessories, based on different healthcare professions. One doll wears a lab coat and holds a clipboard, representing a doctor. Another wears scrubs and holds a stethoscope, representing a nurse. There is also a doll in a white lab coat, holding a test tube and representing a scientist, as well as a doll in a uniform holding a badge, representing a healthcare worker. The collection also includes a doll in a white coat holding a laptop, representing a medical researcher, and another doll in scrubs holding a baby, representing a pediatrician.
The dolls are not only a tribute to the female healthcare workers who have been fighting on the front lines of the pandemic but also serve as an inspiration to young girls who dream of pursuing a career in healthcare. The dolls showcase that women can be powerful and successful in any profession they choose, and they should be celebrated for their contributions to society.
