In the 1980’s, Pleasant T. Rowland, a teacher and publisher of
educational texts, created Pleasant Company and developed a line of
historically themed dolls and their stories which featured difficult
topics like child labor, slavery, and war. And she did it in a way that
young girls, girls just like me, who were beginning to read chapter
books, could easily understand.
What a cute article! It is amazing to see how many people took their love for history from the American Girls and turned that into a career! Thanks for sharing!
