There's really no reason why you would have heard of them. But my girls have Josefina and Molly, and they have been very very happy with them. We own sets of the books for all the dolls, and I feel they were a real inspiration to my girls to start reading history. My oldest now reads non-fiction regularly, and I think it is due in no small part to her love for the American Girl books. Of course there are also a huge number of interesting books just lying around here, and I'm sure that has something to do with it too, but I do think the American Girl products are a wonderful line of toys, and something one can be proud to own, as opposed to Barbies, which are pretty awful (imo- of course).

We had talked recently about affirmative action.

Seems that maybe my alma mater needs to reverse their gender affirmative action program.

The University of Washington School of Law has admitted in its class of 2006 113 women and 79 men. Highly disproportionate.

They need to get on their duffs and start recruiting more male students to get their diversity back in balance.
