'If you can see it, you can be it. And so when they look at the Barbie, they'll start imagining, and then they'll start learning,' Billie Jean King tells PEOPLE of girls playing with Barbie's line of dolls that honor prominent women in history
The tennis icon, 76, is the latest female trailblazer to become one of the beloved dolls as part of Barbie’s Inspiring Women Series. The line is dedicated to honoring modern and historical women role models, and has already included Sally Ride, Rosa Parks and more.
“I’m so thrilled to be part of the Barbie family now. And you know, I’m also with Ella Fitzgerald, who is being released and who was a real ‘shero’ of mine,” King tells PEOPLE. “And then also, Florence Nightingale who I always admired as a child. I read her story because I love history.” “If you can see it, you can be it. And so when they look at the Barbie, they’ll start imagining, and then they’ll start learning,” Billie Jean King tells PEOPLE.
