Madam C.J. Walker Barbie Signature Doll Inspiring Women Series 2022 Mattel HLM19

Madam C. J. Walker was born Sarah Breedlove in 1867 on a Delta, Louisiana cotton plantation.
As the daughter of parents who were formerly enslaved and became sharecroppers, Walker would become a successful entrepreneur and the nation's first documented self-made female millionaire. In St. Louis during the early 1900s, while working as a laundress to support her daughter, A'Lelia, she experimented with homemade and commercial products in her efforts to heal a scalp ailment that caused hair loss.
After a stint as a sales agent for another company, she moved to Denver, married Charles Joseph "C.J." Walker and began selling Madam Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower. Together they traveled through the South and Southwest training "hair culturists" and recruiting sales agents. In 1910, they moved to Indianapolis where Walker opened a factory, a salon and a beauty school.
As Walker's enterprise grew, so did her commitment to philanthropy with donations to orphanages, YWCAS, YMCAs and Black colleges. As an advocate for social justice, she was a tireless supporter of the NAACP and other civil rights organizations. With a sharp instinct for business and an unflinching determination, Madam C.J. Walker became a pioneer for modern Black haircare and created the blueprint for the self-made American businesswoman of the twentieth century.
Girls need more role models like Madam C.J. Walker because imagining they can be anything is just the beginning. Actually seeing that they can makes all the difference.
