Happy New Year! This year we're proud to be American Girls. well at least we know we're free (just kidding, we cost upwards of $80)! This is analysis week, so we get into the history of the dolls and their founder who is literally named Pleasant, their pluses and minuses of their cultural representations, and the impact they've had on a generation of 90's kids. So be a doll and give it a listen!
