Two Headed American Storytelling (Part II of II)
After the postwar period and its preoccupation with racial differences, Topsy-Turvy dolls again went through a redefinition in purpose and design. The polarized black and white upside down dolls gave way around the 1930s and 40s to storybook character dolls that focused on other types of metamorphosis. Doll making became part of an initiative to help economically deprived families in states like North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia out of dire straits and into sustainable self-sufficiency.

I sensed somehow that a doll was not just a doll, but carried some deeper significance. There was a lot of money riding on this, after all.
