A Brief History of American Girl Magazine
There are two key eras collectors care about:
-
The early American Girl: the official magazine of the Girl Scouts of America, originally founded as The Rally in 1917 and renamed The American Girl in 1920, running into the late 1970s.
-
The later American Girl: a bimonthly magazine tied to the American Girl brand, launched in 1992 and published until 2019.
Across both versions, the focus stayed on inspiring, creative content for girls.
What Made American Girl Stand Out
American Girl stood out for:
-
Positive, age‑appropriate stories and features about real girls
-
Crafts, projects, and activities to do at home
-
A focus on kindness, friendship, and personal growth
Instead of celebrity gossip, it leaned into imagination, creativity, and character.
