Vintage women’s suffrage cookbooks are an important part of history! on Vimeo.

by Marguerite Kearns

Food played a large part in the activism of the women’s suffrage movement. Women were in charge of the kitchens. But more than this, they understood how food, its preparation and serving, were opportunities for spreading the word about equality and freedom.

That’s why Suffrage Wagon Cooking School is part of our news and story platform. We’re not just concerned with what happened long ago. That’s important. We stand on the shoulders of those who have come before us. And we’re obsessive about linking the present, past, and future together to illustrate that we’ve been alert and active for a long time.
