Laura Shapiro

"Each of the six women in this ... group portrait was famous in her time, and most are still famous in ours; but until now, nobody has told their lives from the point of view of the kitchen and the table. It's a lively and unpredictable array of women; what they have in common with one another (and us) is a powerful relationship with food"--

Six Remarkable Women and the Food that Tells Their Stories

What She Ate

Jeni Enjaian

Interesting but not profound. I enjoyed reading about these six different women. However, with a handful of the women like Wordsworth, Shapiro really stretched to make her section about food. Also, aside from the food, nothing really united these women. Shapiro appears to have attempted a biography compilation with a theme of food but ended up with a random jumble.
