American Girl isn’t as vacuous as Barbie or as vile as Bratz. Better still, these dolls come with books that weave fictional narratives of plucky girls making their way through important moments in U.S. history.However, as Simon Fraser University education professor Elizabeth Marshall points out in the cover story of Rethinking Schools’ winter 08\/09 issue<\/a>, we shouldn’t be sucked in by the ersatz feminism\u2014the message is consumption and lots of it.<\/p>\n

In her essay, “Marketing American Girlhood<\/a>,” Marshall contends that the American Girl collection is less about strong girls, diversity, or education than about “hooking girls, their parents and grandparents into buying American Girl products and experience.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
