This was a very interesting read.  Gender stereotypes and targeted marketing have been ingrained in all kinds of products to influence the decisions of the target audience throughout history.  Before I read this book, I hadn't given much thought to the use of influence in cookbooks.  The author did a great job of researching this topic and offers a lot of insight into something most people probably don't give a lot of thought to.This book is very well written and has a lot of interesting examples of how cookbooks geared toward women have subtly or not so subtly been used to influence gender roles.  The author made the topic interesting and an entertaining read.
