The Woman Suffrage Cook Book

Included in the long list of contributors are the names of housewives, doctors, political writers, and prominent suffragists like Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Frances Willard. Contained in this volume are not just the instructions for preparing classics like “Rebel Soup,” “Election Cake,” or “Gravy as Mother Did It,” but also tips for plain living and high thinking. The final pages include a section entitled “Eminent Opinions on Woman Suffrage.” The collective effort in compiling, publishing, and distributing this groundbreaking cook book bolstered practical skills for the women involved and affirmed their ability to juggle civic and domestic duties almost as delicately as juggling eggs.
