Description
The Suffrage Cook Book is a collection of recipes compiled in the early 20th century by an anonymous author. It combines practical culinary instructions with themes of women's rights and social responsibility, reflecting the period's broader suffrage movement. The work is structured as a typical cookbook, with sections dedicated to various types of dishes, and incorporates commentary on nutrition, health, and women's roles within the household. Its introduction contextualises cooking as a vital aspect of education and empowerment for women, emphasizing the importance of proper food preparation for well-being and social influence. The book was produced during a time of significant social change in Britain, aiming to elevate domestic skills and advocate for women’s participation in societal progress through culinary competence.
The work serves as both a practical guide to cooking and a document of early 20th-century gender and social values, intertwining domestic advice with advocacy for women's rights. It reflects the intersection of culinary arts and social activism, characteristic of its period.

Leave lid off and baste frequently. In another hour the ducks are ready to serve. Pour off fat in pan. Make thickening for gravy (not removing the onion or apple). For the filling, take stale loaf of bread, cut off crust and rub the bread into crumbs, dissolve a little butter (about one tablespoon), add that to the crumbs. Salt and pepper to taste and as much parsley as is desired. Mix and stuff the ducks.
