Description

Paper dolls might seem the height of simplicity-quaint but simple toys, nothing more.

But through the centuries paper figures have reflected religious and political beliefs, notions of womanhood, motherhood and family, the dictates of fashion, approaches to education, individual self-image and self-esteem, and ideas about death.

This book examines paper dolls and their symbolism-from icons made by priests in ancient China to printable Kim Kardashians on the Internet-to show how these ephemeral objects have an enduring and sometimes surprising presence in history and culture.
