In the 1995 Holiday Catalog, Pleasant Company introduced a line of 18" dolls with modern outfits and accessories. At first there were twenty "American Girls of Today", each with a different combination of hair color, eye color, face sculpt, hair smoothness and skin tone. This also marked the first Asian-American Girl doll (AGOT #4) which had an all-new face sculpt. In 1997, AGOT #6, which had black hair, light skin and dark brown eyes was changed to a blonde with green eyes. The name of the modern 18" doll line was changed to "American Girl Today" in 1998. And in 1999, AGOT #18 was given bangs and AGOT #19's eyes were changed from gray to green. Then, in 2001, the twenty-first AGOT was added; she had curly honey-blond hair and hazel eyes. August 2004 saw the introduction of three new American Girls of Today: AGOT #22, 23 & 24. These were different in that they had no bangs and two had freckles. At that time, three girls were retired: AGOT #9, 10 and 20. Two new American Girls of Today (AGOT #25 & 26) were introduced in September 2005. Most recently, in 2006, two new AGOT's were added, #27 and 28. With the addition of #28, for the first time an AGOT had the same face sculpt as Josefina, Nellie, Marisol & Elizabeth. It may be of interest to note that the AGOT's share the same faces as several of the historical girls: Samantha, Kirsten, Molly, Felicity, Kit, Emily, Lindsey, Kailey, Nicki & Mia share the same face with American Girls of Today #2, 3, 5-10, 12-17, 19-25 and 27. Addy shares the same face with American Girls of Today #1, 11, 18 and 26. Josefina, Nellie, Marisol, Elizabeth & Julie share the same face with American Girl of Today #28. Jess & Ivy share the same face, but no American Girl of Today has it. Kaya has a unique face and shares it with no American Girl of Today. No historical doll yet has the same face as the Asian American Girl of Today #4.

In response to girls asking to read about American Girls of Today, in Fall of 2001, Pleasant Company introduced Lindsey, a girl of today with a paperback book telling her story and some accessories all her own. She was only available for a year, and the idea was that a different American Girl of Today would be introduced each year or so. In the Summer of 2003, Kailey, the second modern American Girl, made her appearance. Marisol Luna was introduced December 27, 2004, Jess McConnell came on December 26, 2005 and Nicki Fleming arrived on January 1, 2007. Lindsey, Kailey, Marisol, Jess and Nicki have all been retired, but the most recent Limited Edition Girl of Today, Mia St. Clair, arrived on January 1, 2008.
