Toys
like dolls and kitchen equipment encouraged girls to practice
the many roles they would eventually play, as "modern"
housewives, nurturing mothers, style-conscious consumers,
and confidantes to other women. Baby doll play, which
became wildly popular during this time, let girls happily
practice and refine their nurturing skills for hours upon
end.
