The cookbook as a responsive form
The purpose of this special edition of Food and Foodways is to examine the cookbook in a fresh light. Previous criticism of cookbooks has concentrated on how the cookbook reflects history, culture and social patterns of behavior. Cookbook criticism has revealed important food histories, unearthed significant cultural phenomena, and demonstrated new ways of understanding social connections and behaviors. This has ranged from recording courtly cuis…
Country cooking: Cookbooks and Counterculture in the 1970s
This article discusses the underlying reasons for the rise in popularity of the country cookbook - a genre that reflects rural cookery practices, using locally-available, seasonal and foraged ingredients - in 1970s Britain. Despite country cookbooks being styled along traditional lines, their increased popularity very much drew upon unconventional, countercultural movements of communal living, self-sufficiency and folk feminism. Country cookbooks…

Using the Harold Pinter Collection held at the British Library, this article investigates Harold Pinter’s 1989 screenplay and television film of Elizabeth Bowen’s 1949 novel The Heat of the Day. It argues for the detailed and direct ways in which Pinter used Bowen’s language and dialogue to convey the complexities of wartime London. However, it also suggests that Pinter’s adaptation deliberately excludes elements of women’s experiences of the Sec…
Historicising the Women’s Liberation Movement in the Western World: 1960-1999
Historicising the Women's Liberation Movement
The Women's Liberation Movement of the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s emerged out of a set of economic and social circumstances where women collected together in disparate groups and contexts to express their dissatisfaction with their role and position in society. Through consciousness-raising and activism women raised their voices, profiles and visibility. This important moment of women's history is revisited in this collection of essays, which lo…
Spreading the Word: Feminist print cultures and the Women's Liberation Movement
This article investigates the significance of print cultures to the Women's Liberation Movement. It highlights feminist interventions into a male-dominated publishing industry through women's writing, publishing and political commitment, with shifts towards feminist publishing cultures, both emboldened by the WLM and empowered by separatist networks. The construction and publication of feminist magazines was a significant aspect of feminist print…
Magazine Movements: Women's Culture, Feminisms and Media Form
All women's magazines are not the same: content, outlook, and format combine to shape publications quite distinctively. While magazines in general have long been understood as a significant force in women's lives, many critiques have limited themselves to discussions of mainstream printed publications that engage with narrowly stereotypical representations of femininity. Looking at a range of women's magazines (Cooperative Correspondence Club and…
Everything That Makes up a Woman's Life: Feminism and Femininity in Houseparty
This article explores the ways in which an unassuming regional afternoon television programme for women, Houseparty (1972-81) overlapped with the feminist concerns of the 1970s Women's Liberation Movement. Without any overt feminist agenda, this much-loved programme achieved a feminist communication through cross-over between talk television and consciousness-raising, and by addressing issues of prominent concern to women in this decade such as t…
