    Historical dolls, books tell 'herstory' and link generations of women


    It's a bright, crisp, Sunday afternoon in February when more than 75 girls and as many mothers and grandmothers flood into Borders Books & Cafe in Los Gatos. The 7- to 12-year-old girls come from all around the South Bay. What draws them here are the dolls cradled in their arms. While this gathering of girls and dolls is a first for Los Gatos Borders, this phenomenon has been going on at bookstores and in homes all across the country. The heart of this movement is a series of books--American Girl books--which focus on fictional girls who lived during different periods in American history, each of whom is embodied in an 18-inch-doll.   More
