TIL that in January 2014, a seven-year-old girl named Charlotte Benjamin wrote a letter to Lego, pointing out the lack of female characters compared to male ones. A few months later, in June 2014, Lego introduced a “Research Institute” set showcasing female scientists, which quickly sold out.

    There were ones that unambiguously looked like women but the proportions of the Lego minifig are so unfeminine that they were quite ugly.

      To be fair, they are quite unmasculine too. Inhuman, one might say.
