Food is an indispensable part of culture and a symbol of profound social and political realities. Using Virginia Woolf’s essay, A Room of One’s Own, as a jumping point, Barbara Haber (Food Historian) and Lydia Shire (Chef, Restaurateur and Entrepreneur) will discuss the connections among culinary history, women’s history and social history, highlighting how food and cooking have been—and continue to be used—to mark gender roles. Their discussion will be moderated by Louisa Kasdon, CEO and Founder of Let’s Talk About Food.
This free virtual discussion is presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture in collaboration with Let’s Talk About Food.
