The Suffragette Cookbook

From kitchen table to protest marches, 'The Suffragette Cookbook' is a history of female love and power. When the Suffrage movement gained momentum, many Suffragette groups released cookbooks, declaring to the world that 'women's work', like cooking, was not lesser but something to be celebrated. In distributing their cookbooks, they slipped the message of Suffrage between recipes and allowed it entry into homes. Kate Williams presents many recipes passed from mother to child, a history of female unity that stretches through generations: from mouth-watering recipes you may still make today, to delightfully incoherent recipes you can't believe were ever truly served. But you'll also find messages of female strength, male solidarity and a history that's only beginning to be told.
