which were derived from the 18-inch dolls made by <a href="/wiki/G%C3%B6tz_(company)" title="Götz (company)">Götz</a> in <a href="/wiki/West_Germany" title="West Germany">West Germany</a> (known as Germany from October 1990) during the late 1980s to the 1990s,<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> were initially the main focus of Pleasant Company, founded by <a href="/wiki/Pleasant_Rowland" title="Pleasant Rowland">Pleasant Rowland</a> in 1986. This product line aims to teach aspects of American history through a six-book series from the perspective of a girl living in that time period. Rowland came up with the idea after she returned from a trip to <a href="/wiki/Colonial_Williamsburg" title="Colonial Williamsburg">Colonial Williamsburg</a>, where she noticed there was a significant void in the toy market for younger-aged dolls and saw an opportunity to provide an alternative to baby and adult dolls.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Although the books are written for girls who are at least eight years old, they endeavor to cover significant topics such as <a href="/wiki/Child_labor" class="mw-redirect" title="Child labor">child labor</a>, <a href="/wiki/Child_abuse" title="Child abuse">child abuse</a>, <a href="/wiki/Poverty" title="Poverty">poverty</a>, <a href="/wiki/Racism" title="Racism">racism</a>, <a href="/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">slavery</a>, <a href="/wiki/Animal_abuse" class="mw-redirect" title="Animal abuse">animal abuse</a> and <a href="/wiki/War" title="War">war</a> in appropriate manners for the understanding and sensibilities of their young audiences.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-9">[9]</a> In 1995, Pleasant Company released a line of contemporary dolls called American Girl of Today. In 2006, the product line was renamed Just Like You; it was changed again in 2010 to My American Girl, and in 2015 to Truly Me.<a href="#cite_note-trulyme-10">[10]</a> This line has included over one hundred different dolls over the years. Each doll has a different combination of face mold, skin tone, eye color, hair color, length, texture, and/or style. American Girl states that this variety allows customers to choose dolls that "represent the individuality and diversity of today's American girls."<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-9">[9]</a> A wide variety of contemporary clothing, accessories, and furniture is also available, and there are regular releases and retirements to update this line. Each year, a Girl of the Year doll is released who has her own unique talent; for example, Mia St. Clair, the Girl of the Year for 2008, was an ice skater,<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> and Marisol Luna, the Girl of the Year for 2005, was a dancer. Girls of Many Lands was released by American Girl in the holiday season of 2002.<a href="#cite_note-:1-12">[12]</a> Each doll was 9 inches tall and represented a 12-year-old girl from a time in history; in addition, each doll came with an accompanying book.<a href="#cite_note-:1-12">[12]</a> Along with specific ethnicities, the dolls were given a home country and time periods, such as 1592 England, 1711 France, 1846 Ethiopia, and more.<a href="#cite_note-:1-12">[12]</a> Sculpted by Helen Kish, the dolls were meant for display only and were priced from $48 to $54.<a href="#cite_note-:1-12">[12]</a> The doll line lasted until the Fall of 2005.<a href="#cite_note-:1-12">[12]</a> <a href="/wiki/Bitty_Baby" title="Bitty Baby">Bitty Baby</a> is a line of 15-inch baby dolls targeted to children aged three and older. They are cheaper than the 18-inch dolls and as of 2024, retail at $60 each.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a><a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> In 2013, American Girl Publishing released Bitty Baby books, picture books aimed at girls ages 3–6.<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> The Bitty Twins line debuted in 2003 to represent slightly older toddlers and/or preschoolers. The Bitty Twins were the same size as the Bitty Baby dolls.<a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-9">[9]</a> They were discontinued in June 2016. Hopscotch Hill School was released by American Girl in 2003. The dolls were 16 inches (41 cm) tall, came with jointed limbs and painted eyes, and had a slimmer overall body shape. They, along with the stories which came with the dolls written by Valerie Tripp, were aimed at elementary-age girls from four to six years old and were sold until 2006.<a href="#cite_note-AGPTHopscotch-17">[17]</a> A <a href="/wiki/Reboot_(fiction)" title="Reboot (fiction)">reboot</a> of the Historical Characters line dubbed as BeForever was launched in August 2014, complete with redesigned outfits, a two-volume compilation of previously released books, and a "<a href="/wiki/Gamebook" title="Gamebook">Journey Book</a>" for each character, with players taking the role of a present-day girl who <a href="/wiki/Time_travel" title="Time travel">found her way to the past</a> and met up with one of the Historical girls. The line also coincided with the relaunch of <a href="/wiki/List_of_American_Girl_characters#Samantha_Parkington" title="List of American Girl characters">Samantha Parkington</a>, whose collection was discontinued in 2008.<a href="#cite_note-KTLA-18">[18]</a><a href="#cite_note-kidscreenBF-19">[19]</a> In June 2016, American Girl unveiled Wellie Wishers, a separate doll line similar to Hopscotch Hill School aimed at younger children<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> and with a focus on nature and the outdoors, positioning it between Bitty Baby and the BeForever/Girl of the Year/Truly Me dolls. As the name implies, dolls from the line wear Wellington (wellie) boots and have a body design distinct from the classic, Götz-derived American Girl dolls. The line was released on June 23, 2016. The names of the Wellie Wishers are: Willa, Camille, Kendall, Emerson, Ashlyn, and Bryant.<a href="#cite_note-Menza-21">[21]</a> In February 2017, American Girl released a new line of 18-inch dolls called contemporary characters. The first doll in the line was Tenney Grant, a young aspiring country singer, and songwriter. Other dolls of the modern line include Logan, Tenney's bandmate and American Girl's first-ever boy doll,<a href="#cite_note-22">[a]</a> and Z Yang, who is interested in photography and making <a href="/wiki/Stop-motion_animation" class="mw-redirect" title="Stop-motion animation">stop motion</a> videos.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a> Following Mattel's commitment to diversity, growing calls from consumers to include more racial diversity in the brand, and the <a href="/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter" title="Black Lives Matter">2020 racial justice protests in the United States</a>, American Girl released a new line of 18-inch dolls called World by Us. The dolls and their books promote messages of various social justice issues that are age-appropriate for the line's target audience and cover relevant subjects such as racism, <a href="/wiki/Immigration" title="Immigration">immigration</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Climate_change" title="Climate change">climate change</a>.

The Vice President of Marketing for American Girl has said that "the doll industry has a very heavy responsibility in reflecting what is true about our society".<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> Valerie Tripp, author of many of the books in the American Girl series, says that her goal is to teach children to "challenge assumptions" and to teach them tolerance and compassion towards everyone; she promotes optimism and "cheerful skepticism" rather than "anger, resentment, bitterness, and jealousy." Some critics have argued that these narratives lead to a lack of recognition of injustices, maintaining that all Americans share the same privileges regardless of race or ethnicity.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> Kaya'aton'my, a <a href="/wiki/Nez_Perce" title="Nez Perce">Nez Perce</a> character set in 1764, has a story that takes place before American colonization which has been criticized for avoiding the issue of <a href="/wiki/Colonialism" title="Colonialism">colonialism</a> through pre-Western contact settings.<a href="#cite_note-:0-77">[76]</a> American Girl worked with a Nez Perce advisory board in creating Kaya; the advisory board requested that her storyline take place prior to western settlement, when the culture of the Nez Perce tribe was flourishing.<a href="#cite_note-101">[100]</a> According to senior designer manager Heather Northrop, Kaya's face sculpt was crafted specifically for her according to the Nimiipuu's people's beliefs that baring teeth is considered to be impolite.<a href="#cite_note-102">[101]</a> Nanea, a character set in 1941, has a story based on Dorinda Makanaonalani Nicholson, author of Pearl Harbor Child: A Child's View of Pearl Harbor from Attack to Peace.<a href="#cite_note-103">[102]</a> Nanea's character is of split Hawaiian and European ancestry, so American Girl consulted with Nicholson, a woman with the same heritage, as part of an effort to share more inclusive perspectives and authentic stories with their audience.<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="LGBTQ+">LGBTQ+</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=American_Girl&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: LGBTQ+" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> The 2021 Girl of the Year, Kira Bailey, has a storyline that "focuses on her journey to Australia with her mom, where she plans to work at an animal sanctuary"<a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a> which is owned by her married aunts Mamie and Lynette. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Feminism_and_gender_stereotypes">Feminism and gender stereotypes</h4> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=American_Girl&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Feminism and gender stereotypes" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> American Girl Dolls were created to provide young girls with role models that were connected to historical events.<a href="#cite_note-106">[105]</a> American Girl Dolls and their stories are written with the mission of encouraging each child to "follow their inner star."

Readers have also voiced disappointment in the way in which feminism specifically in relation to the professional world is addressed through the books.<a href="#cite_note-:12-108">[107]</a> A critique of readers is that the brand offers empowerment through "girl power" and "self-determination" without addressing the system that leads to gender discrimination and inequalities in the workplace.<a href="#cite_note-:12-108">[107]</a> The books address feminism in the professional world through teamwork, leadership, and talent but critics dislike how the books provide limited resources to work through real life issues females face in the workplace such as imposter syndrome and workplace harassment.<a href="#cite_note-:12-108">[107]</a> Historical Accuracy The books have been praised for teaching children about different time periods. However, some critics point out that this interpretation of the past is superficial and inaccurate. In response to this, authors have pointed out that these books are meant for children and at most are meant to give them an idea of the "chronology of American history", introduce them to some key events, an understanding of historical change, and give them an understanding that people of different ethnicities and socioeconomic backgrounds have often been treated differently.<a href="#cite_note-109">[108]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fandom">Fandom</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=American_Girl&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Fandom" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> In 2015, the practice of creating and uploading American Girl doll-based <a href="/wiki/Stop_motion" title="Stop motion">stop motion</a> videos (AGSM for short) was featured in a news report for <a href="/wiki/BBC_News" title="BBC News">BBC News</a>' Trending site.
