For my final project, I would like to study communication through cookbooks; specifically, I want to explore how they reflect trends in gender stereotypes and prescribed gender roles. I recently read the book “How to Cook a Wolf” by M.F.K. Fisher, which was written in the era of World War Two and raises some interesting questions about the woman’s role in the home and in society. Although this era is outside of the purview of the course, I could reach further back in history and study the spread of cookbooks in colonial America, and examine what they reveal about a woman’s place in colonial society.
