- Description
- From the 1880s to the 1920s, a profound social awakening among women extended the possibilities of change far beyond the struggle for the vote. Amid the growth of globalized trade, mass production, immigration and urban slums, American and British women broke with custom and prejudice. Taking off corsets, forming free unions, living communally, buying ethically, joining trade unions, doing social work in settlements, these 'dreamers of a new day' challenged ideas about sexuality, mothering, housework, the economy and citizenship.

- Description
- From the first edition of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook to the latest works by today's celebrity chefs, cookbooks reflect more than just passing culinary fads. As historical artifacts, they offer a unique perspective on the cultures that produced them. In this bookb the author offers an analysis of American cookbooks published between the 1790s and the 1960s, uncovering the cultural assumptions particularly about women and domesticity they contain.While she finds that cookbooks aimed to make readers—mainly white, middle-class women—into effective, modern-age homemakers who saw joy in their domestic tasks, she notes that the phenomenal popularity of Peg Bracken's 1960 cookbook, The I Hate to Cook Book, attests to the limitations of this kind of indoctrination. At the same time, she explores the proliferation of bachelor cookbooks aimed at 'the man in the kitchen' and the biases they display about male and female abilities and responsibilities. Neuhaus also addresses the impact of World War II rationing on homefront cuisine: the introduction of new culinary technologies, gourmet sensibilities, and ethnic foods into American kitchens: and developments in the cookbook industry since the 1960s.

- Exploration of the changing functions and meanings of quilts within the life of a South Carolina family from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Central person - Mary Louise Snoddy Black (1860 - 1927) - accumulated sixteen quilts made by women in her family. In seeking to understand how and why the quilts in Mary Black's collection came about, as well as their role in the daily lives of family, friends, and community, the author draws upon oral history interviews and archival materials, like personal letters, journals, ledgers, wills, estate records, newspaper articles, obituaries, and census reports dating back to the eighteenth century.
