American Girl Doll Cost
American Girl, the character doll, started from the idea of a gentleman that was looking for a Christmas present for his nieces. He found baby-dolls on which little girls could practice their maternal skills, teenage-dolls on which teenagers could reflect aspirations, but no doll looked like an 8 to 12 years old little girl. He combined this idea with that one of a history tale accessible to children and thus the American girl was born, a doll accompanied by a book and a full line of accessories, telling little girls about racism, slavery, poverty, or war. One of the most popular dolls in the series is Addy Walker, a black girl who runs from the plantation where she is a slave and heading north. There she dreams of a free life but also learns about preconceptions and racism. A book was written about Addy’s life, but also many other doll series inspired several films, the last one was released in 2009.
