In previous episodes, we have talked about how feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffehouses in the United States and Canada in the 1970s and 1980s were connected to feminist bookstores, lesbian bars, women’s rights organizations– not to mention the broader network of Civil Rights, LGBTQ rights, and anti-racist organizations. Today we’ll be talking about the cultural outputs of feminist restaurants, cafes, and coffeehouses – and we will be focusing primarily on cookbooks.
