Good article.
The Enduring Nostalgia of American Girl Dolls | History | Smithsonian Magazine<https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/evolution-american-girl-dolls-180977822/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=socialmedia&fbclid=IwAR3-ksc6LKXCFoDhtiXZYiUi7GeXMsxFFTUj4_LWBR9JeMpNESidNBdbVvo>

Personally, I'm a little too old for American Girl dolls (so sad), but daughter is not (she's 20). She has many (OK, they're probably partly mine, too).

Question of curiosity - does anyone have a doll or dolls for checkout? The article mentions that there are some libraries that do. When I worked at the NHCC, we had the whole Josefina collection (doll, books, furniture, accessories) in the archives. It was donated by Dr. Nunn who had been on the advisory committee for the doll. We never loaned it out while I was there.
