1890's "The Woman Suffrage Cook Book" was among the first to be sold at suffrage-supporting fairs and bazaars. Within its pages are recipes from contributors such as Julia Ward Howe, Elizabeth W. Stanton and Lucy Stone, all suffragettes. The book also contains this quote from John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the U.S.: "The correct principle is that women are not only justified, but exhibit the most exalted virtue when they enter on the concerns of their country, of humanity, and of their God."
