Vintage Cocktail Column

My Vintage Cocktail Column in Okra Magazine has been published. Here is a link to it.

In my post, I wrote about the Washington women’s page and female political journalists: “In 1962, the Women’s National Press Club issued a new cookbook to raise money for a clubhouse. The book, Second Helping, was a follow up to the group’s popular 1955 publication, Who Says We Can’t Cook! The Washington, D.C.-based female reporters were known for their alcohol-fueled gatherings and their books featured several cocktail recipes. (To get an idea of how much alcohol the journalists consumed, a book about them was titled Drunk Before Noon.)”
