Helpful Score: 3

After I began reading this book, I realized it was not quite what I was expecting. Each chapter is more like an essay on an isolated timeframe or historical event, while the book is cohesive through the running theme of women, food, experience. I did enjoy reading it after I got started. It is slightly more scholarly than I was anticipating and the research into areas of food and sociology was quite interesting.
