American Girl Dolls are a contemporary phenomenon that teaches young girls about periods in American history by telling the stories from the perspective of young girls living in that time period. The American Girl stories cover topics such as poverty, racism, and war, and present these topics in way that young girls can understand. Each American Girl Doll comes with its own line of clothing, accessories, and storybooks.
