What are Madame dolls Alexander®?

Panels Madame Alexander® are made by Alexander Doll Company. The company was founded by Madame Beatrice Alexander Behrman, born to Russian immigrants, on March 9, 1895. Her mother named her Bertha, but Madame Alexander later changed her name to Beatrice because she thought Beatrice was more elegant. Young Bertha often played with dolls waiting to repair her father in a doll hospital. Since she was always surrounded by them, she developed love for dolls and wanted to create her own. Despite these challenges, her parents encouraged her to work and study hard. She even managed to complete a high school, a rare performance for young women in her neighborhood. The work of the metal she learned from her parents allowed her to build a doll empire that would eventually make her an extremely richer woman. The first doll she created was the nurse of the Red Cross. In 1923, with only $ 1,600 USD (USD), she founded her now famous companyOst Alexander Doll Company. Her fine, handmade dolls grew rapidly in popularity.
