Madame Alexander

the creator of the iconic American doll

"Beatrice Alexander's family ran a doll hospital in their home in New York's Lower East Side, where she grew to love fixing and making dolls. . . . When World War I broke out, she came up with the idea to make dolls modeled after nurses to support the war effort and help keep children happy--but they needed to be unbreakable because resources were scarce and families couldn't afford to repair or replace toys. With her innovative designs and ideas, she became a savvy, feminist entrepreneur"--OCLC.
