Mattel released a hijab-wearing Barbie doll on Monday, modeled after Muslim American Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad as part of the toy company’s “Shero” program.
Glamour magazine presented the doll in Muhammad’s honor at the Woman of the Year summit in New York City Monday, the New York Post reports.
“Ibtihaj Muhammad has challenged every stereotype — which to me is the definition of a modern American woman,” Glamour’s editor-in-chief, Cindi Leive, said in a statement.
