As a child I heard my parents talking about what the sacrifices of people like Rosa Parks meant to the human race. And while Parks might not have been the first to refuse to give up her seat, she definitely symbolizes a movement towards change. So when I decided to start collecting barbies, I thought this would be a nice addition. She’s very pretty and there is a strong likeness to her namesake. She is wearing glasses, a box hat (with floral embellishment), a floral dress and wool looking coat. There are also some added details - gloves and a purse, that add to the overall presentation. 5 stars

I must confess, at first I didn't know what this doll had to appeal to an eight year old girl but on seeing her eyes light up when she opened the wrapping, she was definitely thrilled and recounted more than I even knew of Rosa's story and her place in history. I was so proud of her that this was so important to her. She already had one doll from the series so we might have a blossoming legendary woman in our midst. The doll herself is so realistic, with Rosa's glasses and business garb, I applaud Mattel for making the history of this storied lady the most important part of owning her.

Got it for my niece for Christmas. She loved it and said she will not be taking it out of the box and also told her you her sister not to as well. Lol The whole family wanted to know where I got it. Great gift and great tribute to an amazing woman!

I am in Love with my Rosa Parks Doll (I bought it for myself-Smile I don't have any kiddos). The attention to details is phenomenal- from her pill box hat and ponytail to her sparkling white gloves. I am just so excited about what Barbie is doing and I am All the way here for it ( I plan to buy more from their series). It is so important for little girls to have awesome representations (especially children of color). I wish Mrs. Parks could have seen her awesome likeness in the form of this doll- I believe she would have loved it. This doll is a must have for any Child's shelf/ chest. As a teacher I also envision the awesome conversations/ lessons that parents/ caregivers can have with this amazing doll.

I bought this doll as a gift for my little cousin what was 7 at the time. She played Rosa Parks in a school play and did very well. She was so intrigued by Mrs. Parks, she continued her research and was able to learn so much more about history. She has not opened this doll yet. To her, it's one a of the best gifts someone has ever given her.

I saw the other reviews where the packaging was an absolute nightmare. In my case, I wasn’t gifting this doll or collecting her, so I didn’t really care if she came in crappy packaging. However, she did come in good packaging, it probably could’ve been better if you’re a collector, but it was totally giftable.It didn’t really matter at the end of the day because I just took her out immediately to play with her. I’m very happy with her and think she’s super adorable! Love her outfit and love that she is made to move!

I collect interesting things, but I was not a 'doll' collector...until now. When I saw that Mattel had issued an Ida B. Welles Inspirational Woman Doll, I knew I had to have it! I have also purchased the Maya Angelou and Rosa Parks Barbie Inspirational Woman Dolls. Now that I am an enthusiastic doll collector, I look forward to collecting (and displaying) future issues of these wonderfully authenticated inspirational dolls.Sandra Marsh
