I had the wonderful experience this week of speaking to the daughter of Jane Nickerson Steinberg and exchanging emails with her son. So few of the women I study had children so those experiences are quite special.

Jane Nickerson (the name she wrote under) was a longtime food editor at the New York Times but has been overshadowed by Craig Claiborne. Yet, Jane’s work was significant. She wrote wrote about food as news – especially coming out of World War II and the end of rationing.

One of my great UCF students will be working with me this summer collecting and analyzing Jane’s work at the New York Times.
