Dames Who Read -July and September Meetings

DAMES WHO READ
Join us as we meet to discuss a food-focused book. We meet approximately every six weeks when a Dame selects the book and leads the discussion. All Dames are welcome. The host chooses a nonfiction or fiction book (not a recipe book), preferably one that is available in the library or can be purchased at a low price, that lends itself to a thoughtful discussion. Eileen maintains a list of suitable books and recommendations to aid the host in her selection.  If you are interested in hosting or have any questions about Dames Who Read, contact Eileen Dykes at [email protected]

​All Stirred Up: Suffrage Cookbooks, Food,and the Battle for Women's Right to Vote by our own DC Dame Laura Kumin, was written in honor of the centenary of the 19th amendment. This delectable book reveals a new side of the history of the suffrage movement when women enfranchised themselves through the subversive and savvy power of the palate.
