Amelia Earhart and Gabby Douglas are just some of the historic and modern-day female role models from around the world with new Barbie look-alikes. Barbie created the collection after conducting a survey with moms about the concern of positive role models for their daughters.

The collection includes 17 women from artist Frida Kahlo to Katherine Johnson, pioneer African-American mathematician at NASA. Others include Italian soccer player Sara Gama, filmmaker Patty Jenkins, Chinese Prima Ballerina, Yuan Tan and more.

A March press release from Barbie states, “Through its Shero program, Barbie honors women who have broken boundaries in their fields and have been an inspiration to the next generation of girls with a one-of-a-kind doll made in their likeness.”

Available for pre-order at barbie.mattel.com for $29.99 each.
