Day Six: Women's Page History in 7 Objects
The sixth object representing women's pages is a cookbook. Most newspapers put out a cookbook at some point. Sometimes the books were a creation of the newspaper's food editor, such as the Arizona Republic's Dorothee Polson's Pot au Feu.
Other times, the books were a collection of recipes from readers, such as the Milwaukee Journal's Peggy Daum's Best Cook on the Block Cookbook.
