From Betty Crocker to Feminist Food Studies

This collection of essays explores the intersection of food studies and women’s studies, applying feminist perspectives to topics such as the influence of corporations on American diets, historical roles of women in nourishment, and representations of food in culture. Covering themes like marketplace dynamics, historical narratives, and resistance, the volume provides a nuanced look at how food and gender intersect across different contexts and time periods. Published by the University of Massachusetts Press, the book offers fresh insights into the social and cultural significance of food through a gender lens.
