The Woman Suffrage Cook Book

by Sean Robert Hilliard, Hattie A. Burr (Editor)

Originally compiled by Hattie A. Burr in 1886, the Woman Suffrage Cookbook is a collection of recipes pulled together from many eminent women of the time. The book is the first charity cookbook to have been published in support of the Women's Suffrage Movement and represents a monumental publishing effort for women by women with little to no involvement from men. It is a testimony to the idea that women could have an active role both inside and outside the house. Along with recipes, the book includes other tips for household management and "eminent opinions on woman suffrage." Notable contributors include Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe.
