Answer 2

American Girl dolls were invented in Williamsburg, Virginia by Pleasant T. Rowland in 1984. Ms. Rowland was looking for dolls for her nieces, but she felt her only options were Cabbage Patch kids which encouraged mothering or Barbies which encouraged growing up to be a teen. She didn't like any of them because she was looking for a doll that encouraged to just be a girl of the ages 8-12, tweens. The dolls were designed in Germany.

Answer 3

In 1984, educator, writer, and entrepreneur Pleasant T. Rowland was looking for dolls to give her nieces for Christmas. She found baby dolls (which emphasize mothering) and teenage or adult dolls (which emphasize future aspirations of an older age), but no dolls that realistically represented girls in an nine-to-twelve age range. This experience was coupled with a visit to Colonial Williamsburg, a place which Rowland felt personified the accessibility of living history and which inspired her to create a line of historical character dolls and books.

In 1986 the first Pleasant Company catalogs debuted character dolls Samantha Parkington, Kirsten Larson, and Molly McIntire. Offered for sale with these dolls were the first three stories of each character's eventual six-book series, period outfits and accessories, and storage options. The dolls were designed by Götz, a German doll-maker. Since then, the company has added to and expanded its historical character line as well as ceasing production of some older characters. The company has also branched out into numerous other product lines, among them the American Girl magazine, myriad fiction and non-fiction publications, a line of contemporary 18-inch 'American Girl of Today' dolls, and the 'Bitty Baby' and 'Bitty Twins' collections. Pleasant Company was sold to Mattel, Inc. in 1997, and the name of the company subsequently changed to American Girl.

Answer 4

American Girl dolls were created to give pre-teen girls a companion in their play that had a story they could relate to, and to teach them that their struggles and worries were survivable and had solutions, and that if they worked hard enough they could achieve whatever they wanted to. American Girl dolls also celebrate the individuality of every girl.
