520    "Are you a Molly (a patriotic overachiever with a flair 
       for drama)? Felicity (the original horse girl)? Kirsten (a
       cottagecore fan who seems immune to cholera), Samantha (a 
       savior complex in a sailor suit), or Josefina (who dealt 
       with grief by befriending a baby goat)? Have you ever 
       wondered how Britney Spears or Michelle Kwan would answer 
       that question? And why do we care so much which girl we 
       are? 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? Through 
       interviews with a legion of devoted doll lovers, a field 
       trip to Colonial Williamsburg, a place that inspired 
       Pleasant to create American Girl, and an exploration of 
       their own (complicated) fandom, this is a deep dive into 
       one of the 90s most coveted products - the American Girl 
       doll" --|cpublisher's description.
