About this Event
Book Launch: Amanda FitzSimons presents An American Girl: How a Billion-Dollar Doll and Its Unlikely Founder Changed Girlhood Forever
Wine reception and American Girl doll photo op to follow
Local journalist and author Amanda FitzSimons launches An American Girl, an invigorating, eminently readable love letter to the entrepreneurial genius of a then radical, now iconic brand, now celebrating its 40th year anniversary! American Girl explores how the brand became a cultural touchstone, navigating the crosscurrents of third-wave feminism, the rise of consumer culture, and contentious debates over historical accuracy and representation. An essential read for anyone who has ever loved a doll and recognized the powerful ways in which they can transform our understanding of ourselves, FitzSimons discusses all things American Girl before an audience Q+A and signing, and attendees are invited to bring their own American Girl doll for a photo op and show-and-tell with fellow fans!
