Everyone knows that American Girl is a company that embodies the spirit, joy and development of girls and young women. They are more than just a line of dolls designed to capture the imagination of girls everywhere. Many people are quick to put them in the same category as the Bratz and Barbie dolls but let me set the record straight. American Girl is in a league all of her own.

American Girl dolls have actual personalities. The historical American Girls all have a personal history and story to tell. There are nine of them and they each represent a decade from the past. They have helped bring history to life and it is told from the perspective of a nine year old girl. Imagine how many young ladies have become avid learners and readers of their history thanks to these dolls. These dolls go by the names of Josefina, Kaya, Kit, Rebecca, Molly, Addy, Marie-Grace, Julie and Cecile. This was only the beginning for the American Girl company.

Next in 1992, American began publishing and distributing a magazine American Girl. It is one of the first and most premier magazines available for little girls today. The magazine promotes self awareness, self esteem, and it is designed to foster the spirit of creativity and independence in young girls across the globe. It is the top ranked magazine that is exclusively for girls in the US. It has been recognized by numerous parental organizations and won many awards for being such a positive influence for the young ladies of our future.
