Guys. Read this. Seriously. Read all of Neuhaus' stuff. Then read all of Lynn Peril. These two women write about gender in a way that is so fascinating. They don't disregard the past or try to say it was wrong. It's examined fairly and through the objective evidence we have available. Neuhaus in particular uses very cautious and careful scholarship, which I highly appreciate. This book takes you through the history of cookbooks and how they helped define gender and cultural roles from the last 19th century until the 1960s/70s. It's amazing. Just go read it.
