Yeah, I was surprised they made that leap to the dolls carrying messages about their expected roles in society. As a little girl, my doll was more an outlet to be able to imitate my mother. She’d give me a cuddle, clothe me, put me down for a nap, and I did all that with my doll. I also had a play telephone that I’d pretend to use while watching my parents speak on the telephone. My expected role in society isn’t a telephone operator.
