Join us at the Cleveland History Center to welcome the Dolls of Our Lives podcast co-host and author, Mary Mahoney. Patty Edmonson, our Curator of Costume and Textiles will speak with Mahoney about her book and the nostalgia of American Girl dolls. Afterwards, guests may purchase Mary’s book, have it signed, and join Patty and Mary for a tour of the exhibition, All Dolled Up.
Mary's podcast revisits the American Girls series, book by book. This show, which has been featured in The New York Times , A.V. Club, Book Riot, The Paris Review, and other outlets, investigates the historical stories offered by the brand for what they reveal about the eras in which they’re set andthe decades that produced them (the 1980s/1990s).
