Description

The Woman Suffrage Cook Book contains recipes by more than 164 different women. Copies of this cookbook were sold to raise funds for the suffrage movement, and put the words of its leaders in the homes of everyday housewives. A carefully curated selection of tried and tested recipes ranging from breads and teacakes to salads, puddings, meats and vegetables, is followed by eminent opinions on woman’s suffrage, including quotes by Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner, William Lloyd Garrison, Lydia Marie Child, and Louisa May Alcott.
“Woman’s suffrage is undoubtedly coming, and I for one expect a great deal of good to result from it.” –Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
