As featured in The Guardian, this timely celebration of the centenary of women winning the vote, sees an original suffrage cookbook from 1915 reissued. Dozens of vintage recipes contributed by some surprising supporters of the popular cause, including famous writers, governors and even a judge. In addition short biographies of the most important contributors and an endnote from Cheryl Robson, editor of this edition. 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.
