Seeking Margaret Baker: Identifying The Author Of Three Manuscript Receipt Books, Kimberley G. Connor

ABO: Interactive Journal for Women in the Arts, 1640-1830

This paper uses recipe contributors named in three early modern manuscript receipt books (Sloane MS 2485, Sloane MS 2486 and Folger V.a 619) to identify the author as Margaret Baker, daughter of Richard Baker the Chronicler (c.1568-1645) and Margaret Mainwaring (died c.1652). A familial connection is also made to Wellcome MS 212.

The Evolution Of Sunset Magazine's Cooking Department: The Accommodation Of Men's And Women's Cooking In The 1930s, Jennifer Hoolhorst Pagano

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The Western regional magazine Sunset has been published under a series of owners and publishers since 1898. In 1928, Sunset was purchased by Lawrence Lane, a Midwestern magazine executive who transformed it from a failing turn-of-the-century, general interest publication about the West, into a successful magazine about living in the West for the Western middle-class. Sunset had always been a magazine for men and women, and one that appealed to both male and female intellectuals at the time Lane purchased it.

Diary From 1865, Lucinda Lenore Merriss Cornell

The Lucinda Lenore Merriss Cornell Diaries

The 1865 diary of Lucinda Cornell focuses on aspects of her life in her new home in Westerville, with regular visits to her parent's home in Hilliard. It involves those around her on a regular basis. It also includes information on births, deaths, and marriages of known persons. This year we find Lucinda pregnant with her first child. She rarely makes direct note of this, but rather couches it in coded language of time passing and of discoveries. Significant dates include:

February 9-13: A series of church events leading to many converts.

April 14: Lincoln shot in Washington.

April 29: …
