Hate to burst the bubble but it's not a Barbie doll; it's an Ida B. Wells doll.

Strong Republican woman who fought for women's rights!!! She was the "original" Rosa Parks... she refused to give up her train seat and successfully sued the train company. .

I wish they would have added the Steely gaze that Ida B Wells possessed.
