Why are Americans uniting to boycott American girl doll products and Mattel toys?”
American Girl is a line of dolls and accessories based on pre-teen girl characters from various periods of American history. Pleasant Rowland began selling them by mail order in 1986. Fourteen million American Girl dolls have been sold, as have 123 million books.[1] The company also produces a bimonthly magazine, American Girl, and two series of books, History mysteries and Girls of Many Lands. In 1998, Pleasant Company became a subsidiary of Mattel. The company’s flagship line is a collection of historical 18-inch dolls that come with books and accessories.
