People would be much better off with the American Girl dolls. The historical Rebecca Rubin, the Jewish character, struggles between what her parents expect (that she will be a teacher) and what she wants, at ten years old, to become (an actress). The story follows her trying to make the world a better place (factory conditions in 1915) and figure out her place as the second-youngest in a family of five children. (And for the record, she isn't dressed scantily,either.)
