"Give Us a Vote and We Will Cook…"

 

Thanks to the Feeding America archives at Michigan State University, I discovered Washington Women's Cook Book, compiled by Linda Deziah Jennings and published by the Washington Women's Suffrage League in 1908 or 1909.  Delightful!

The book was part of a fundraising campaign. I can't say whether sales were successful, but Washington State men did give their women the vote in 1910. Smart move.

The book has hundreds of recipes for "old-time" favorites and a bunch I never knew existed. Ever...
