Northwest Highway, Chicago, IL, 60631 SUMMARY:Chicago Public Library Event - Who Cooks? American Cookbooks and Changes in Gender Roles DESCRIPTION:

American cookbooks--their authors, their implied audience, the social structure implicit in their recipes and meal plans--tell the story of the changes in the role of women and social structure in 20th century America. The cookbook is much more than a 'how-to' manual; it documents the expectations for 'good food' and for a 'good cook.' Looking at the century's most popular cookbooks brings to light its changing values. This program invites the audience to think about the links between who cooks our food and how our society is structured. This program is presented by Penelope Bingham through the IHC Road Scholars Speakers Bureau, a program of the Illinois Humanities Council. Please call 312-744-1478 with any questions.
