SUMMARY- This is not a doll making book. It is a history book on commercial dollmaking, and the political and social ramifications brought into play by male and female doll makers. I found it very thought provoking. If you have a cultural interest in historical context, this is a lovely read. The author asks a lot of questions that never would have occured to me, and while I don't always agree with her answers - she opens a dialogue worth pursuing.
