I grew up with a Republican mom and a Democrat dad. I learned that asking, “Am I a Demolican or a Republicrat?” was not considered funny. Ironically, as an adult, I’ve developed an aversion to both parties and prefer an unrestrained style of leadership. I was born long after the suffrage movement, but I’m familiar with inequality towards women. In 1973, I wanted a credit card, but without a man’s co-signature, I was denied. I’m also a foodie who loves to try new recipes and push the boundaries of kitchen science. Combining my interest in history with my culinary curiosity leads me down some interesting rabbit holes.
I find the irony of using cookbooks as a weapon against "a woman's place is in the kitchen" mentality of the early 1900s suffrage years...delicious.
I’m both fascinated and appalled by the history of women’s rights. I came into adulthood in the early 1970s, and, being a woman, was denied various rights. The suffragettes have always had my sympathy and my gratefulness for starting to bring about the needful change.
Suffragettes fought for their rights from many angles. One clever way to get the message out to women was through cookbooks. They were filled with practical recipes, stirred together with spicy education, and warmed over a subversive fire of increasing unrest.
This cookbook is a modern-day publication that remembers that aspect of suffrage history.
From kitchen table to protest marches, The Suffragette Cookbook is a history of female love and power.
The history of feminism is a history of women coming together. Modern feminists and Suffragettes share much in common, the same core fight spread through centuries. But the fight for women's rights goes beyond marches and protests - it is present wherever women gather. And for much of history, that has been in the kitchen.
When the Suffrage movement gained momentum, many Suffragette groups released cookbooks, declaring to the world that 'women's work', like cooking, was not lesser but something to be celebrated.…

I admire the commitment of effort and time it takes to be a political activist. There’s rarely time left over to have a personal life, or even just take the time to cook wholesome, healthy meals.
I hadn’t considered those aspects of active resistance before reading this cookbook. It really made me stop and think about the logistics of eating well while trying to save the world.
The practicality of the recipes also works well for those of us who can’t take to the streets. And it’s good to know that if I’m given the opportunity to cook for a crowd or hand out nutritious snacks at a rally or march, I can be helpful, too.
From favorite cookbook author Julia Turshen comes this practical and inspiring handbook for political activism-with recipes. As the millions who marched in January 2017 demonstrated, activism is the new normal. When people search for ways to resist injustice and express support for civil rights, environmental protections, and more, they begin by gathering around the table to talk and plan. These dishes foster community and provide sustenance for the mind and soul, including a dozen of the healthy, affordable recipes Turshen is known for, plus over 15 more recipes from a diverse range of celebrated chefs. With stimulating lists, extensive resources,…

I don’t need another cookbook filled with historic recipes; I already have plenty. And I don’t use them for everyday cooking. But this isn’t a collection of vintage dishes; it’s a playful pairing of modern-day foods with our presidents.
While some of the match-ups are accurate, Obama does indeed love guacamole; other matches are just for fun. George Washington, the father of our country, is assigned a trio of red, white, and blue soups. Yes, blue. I wonder what George would have thought of that?

I was born in Washington, D.C., in a hospital not far from the U.S. Capitol. I remember being awestruck walking through its halls on tours as a kid. As a journalist, I covered some hearings and interviewed Congress representatives and staff there. The attack on January 6, 2021, was more than a breach of a landmark, historic building representing the top legislative body in the country; it was an assault on the fabric of democracy itself. A tragic crime occurred there that left several people dead and many injured, both physically and emotionally. We must hold everyone involved, especially those at the top who planned this invasion, accountable for what occurred that day.
This book by two Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning reporters contains even more behind-the-scenes looks than most at what happened during Donald Trump’s last year in the White House. Leonnig, a national investigative reporter, and Rucker, senior Washington correspondent, details nuggets such as South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham telling Trump a couple of days before January 6 that Pence couldn’t change the result and pointing out how Al Gore hadn’t tried doing that when he actually won the popular vote - but lost the Electoral College - in 2000. Trump replied that Gore wasn’t smart enough to pull such a move.
The authors journeyed to Mar-a-Lago a few months after the Capitol attack for a surreal interview with the former president. That alone is worth the read.

Now, history writing is his primary focus, having written two books for 14 years, and still counting, writes a monthly blog, combining words and images to tell stories of early Snohomish.
As a serious fan of Susan Glasser’s digital column on The New Yorker website, I had the bonus treat of listening to narrator Julia Whelan read the articles as a promotion for Audm back in the Days-of-Trump.
For this book, Glasser joins her husband Peter Baker, The New York Times’ chief White House correspondent, to co-author this impressive document, I loved this book. And it’s fat-free.
Full of stories on the brink of disaster during the Trump years are briskly told with a calm, reasoned voice – kind of like a walk down memory lane! Curious that reading about the events that had me bubbling up with anger at the time, is now replaced with understanding and acceptance of the man Trump as a phenomenon, and with this account I may have read enough about the man in the White House from 2017 to 2021.

I was born in Washington, D.C., in a hospital not far from the U.S. Capitol. I remember being awestruck walking through its halls on tours as a kid. As a journalist, I covered some hearings and interviewed Congress representatives and staff there. The attack on January 6, 2021, was more than a breach of a landmark, historic building representing the top legislative body in the country; it was an assault on the fabric of democracy itself. A tragic crime occurred there that left several people dead and many injured, both physically and emotionally. We must hold everyone involved, especially those at the top who planned this invasion, accountable for what occurred that day.
U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin was not only inside the Capitol on January 6 when it was stormed, he had just tragically buried his 25-year-old son the previous day. His book, a cathartic exercise for himself and a shocked nation, drills down to the heart of what happened, showing in graphic detail how violent and terrifying that day was from an insider’s perspective.
As a former constitutional law professor at American University who later became a Trump impeachment manager and member of the U.S. House Select Committee investigating the attack, Raskin eloquently explains the underlying events and issues that led to the violent breach. He argues forcefully why the former president himself must be held accountable before the country can begin a crucial, difficult healing process.
In this searing memoir, Congressman Jamie Raskin tells the story of the forty-five days at the start of 2021 that permanently changed his life-and his family's-as he confronted the painful loss of his son to suicide, lived through the violent insurrection in our nation's Capitol, and led the impeachment effort to hold President Trump accountable for inciting the political violence.
On December 31, 2020, Tommy Raskin, the only son of Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin, tragically took his own life after a long struggle with depression. Seven days later on January 6, Congressman Raskin returned…
