The Suffragette Cookbook: Real Recipes, Real Lives Real History

£14.99

Description

From kitchen table to protest marches, The Suffragette Cookbook is a history of female love and power. The story of feminism is often expressed in accounts of women coming together, but the fight for women's rights goes beyond marches and protests  – it is present wherever women gather, and for much of history, that has been in the kitchen. When the Suffrage movement gained momentum, many Suffragette groups released cookbooks, declaring to the world that 'women's work', like cooking, was not inferior, but something to be celebrated.

In distributing their cookbooks, they slipped the message of Suffrage between recipes, and allowed its entry into homes. Professor Kate William explores the way feminism exists in the domestic sphere and shows that the fight for women's rights was a struggle fought within homes long before it was protested in the streets. The Suffragette Cookbook offers unique insight into the very real world of the women of history, and through them we see a celebration of female strength, power and love.
