I was excited to see this upcoming talk by the Culinary Historians of Southern California: “”The Old Girl Network: Charity Cookbooks and the Empowerment of Women.” This is the lead to the blog post about the talk: “Bra burning, Rosie the Riveter, even the Pill: all these are symbols that come to mind when we think of women’s lib. But cookbooks? We didn’t realize they were on the list. However an upcoming event hosted by the Culinary Historians of Southern California will change all that.” As the Culinary Historians further explain it, “These cookbooks demonstrate how women worked together to help themselves, other women and the outside world.

Women’s Page Editor Jane Clark

According to her obit: “She joined the staff of the Globe-Democrat as a feature writer in 1959 and later that year was named women’s editor for that St. Louis newspaper. Her responsibilities included the development of a women’s section for both the daily and weekend editions as well as supervising coverage of semiannual fashion shows, the annual Women of Achievement Award Luncheon and other specialevents and topics of interest to women. During that time, she won numerous awards from state and national organizations for her feature-writing. She was named an instructor in the…
