Lovecraft’s tomb and Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite garden, search ordinary buildings for extraordinary art, see the servants’ side of life during the Gilded Age, and find green parrots where they would be least expected.

Feminists have argued that the Barbie doll perpetuates unrealistic standards of feminine beauty and undermines the credibility of women. Yet, for every mother who disapproves of Barbie, there is a young daughter who adores her. Barbie has enjoyed a prosperous and important history in Western culture, but she is simply the most high-profile of a series of iconic dolls produced in the past 150 years.
