This week's article in the Beverly Review for Women's History Month is on Pleasant Thiele Rowland, the founder of the American Girl doll line.
The theme of this year’s Women’s History Month is "Celebrating Women Who Tell Our Stories."
Pleasant Rowland made history through history. She created dolls from various periods of American history and told their stories from the viewpoints of young girls.
Pleasant was strongly influenced by her paternal grandmother, who lived in Beverly for over forty years. Pleasant herself lived in Beverly from the ages 6 to 10.
