Synopsis

Celebrate the centenary of women getting the Vote in Britain by cooking and eating some of the Suffragettes' favourite meals.

With none of the fads of modern-day cooking, these simple recipes range from hearty breakfasts to healthy soups, salads and meaty casseroles, alongside witty contributions such as Pie for a Suffragist's Doubting Husband and the Dumplings That Never Fail.

Why not create your own Suffrage Menu with recipes like Blanquette of Veal or Sweet Potato Souffle? Munch on some Parliament Gingerbread or a few Creole Balls? Or raise a toast to those who fought for equality of the sexes, by brewing up a Peppermint Cup?

Originally published in 1915 to help raise funds for the campaign for the vote for women. Includes biographies and photos of the top contributors including Jane Addams, Anna Howard Shaw, Carrie Chapman Catt, Ava Belmont, Mary Roberts Rinehard, and Jack London.

About this title

About the Author:

Little is known about the woman who compiled the cookbook, and tested the recipes herself, other than that she belonged to the Pittsburgh Equal Franchise Federation, was an ardent supporter of women's right to vote and that she collected most of the recipes from residents of West Pennsylvania.

Review:

The Suffrage Cook Book represents a confluence of the domestic and political spheres, and serves as a record of women’s fight to be seen as full-fledged citizens. (Marguerite Kearns, Suffrage Cookbooks on Your Kitchen Shelf)
