Mattel has created a Barbie doll in the image of Wilma Mankiller, the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Take THAT, Oklahoma! Mattel has been issuing a line of Barbie Inspiring Women, which has included Rosa Parks and Susan B. Anthony.
Mankiller served as Principal Chief for ten years. During that time, she revitalized the Cherokee Nation's government, and advocated for improved healthcare and housing services. While in office, infant mortality declined and educational achievement rose.
