Lego Improves Long-Standing Gender Bias of Figurines Collection by Introducing Female Scientist

It's as if they think girls are innately incapable of enjoying toys unless they have pink bows on them. When I was a little girl, I enjoyed our regular sets of legos, tinker toys, Lincoln Logs, blocks, etc. There was nothing pink about them.
