"Dolls of Our Lives: Why We Can't Quit American Girl" Author Talk @ Central
Meet the authors and hear how the Dolls of Our Lives podcast became the book "Dolls of Our Lives: Why We Can't Quit American Girl" (Macmillan 2023)
Combining history, travelogue, and memoir, Dolls of Our Lives follows Allison Horrocks and Mary Mahoney on an unforgettable journey to the past as they delve into the origins of this iconic brand. Continuing the conversations that began on their podcast, they set out to answer the lingering questions that keep them up at night. What did American Girl inventor Pleasant Rowland hope to say to children with these dolls? Was girl power something that could be ordered from a catalogue, described by a magazine, or modeled in the plot lines of books? And how - and why - did this brand shape an entire generation?
