Our collectible Barbie Inspiring Women doll honors Kristi Yamaguchi, the first Asian American woman to win a gold medal in figure skating at the Olympic Games. A champion on and off the ice, she is the author of several best-selling children’s books as well as a fierce advocate for early childhood literacy. She’s a fitting addition to a series that pays tribute to courageous women who took risks, changed rules, and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger than ever before.
