Item description from seller

First Edition. 244pp., 36 portraits. 8vo. A cookbook assembled by a Pittsburgh equal rights organization with a five-page introduction by Pittsburgh journalist Erasmus Wilson. Recipes, endorsements, and statements regarding woman's suffrage from prominent political, social, and literary figures, including letters from the governors of California, Kansas, Wyoming, and Washington; Jane Addams, Mary Roberts Rinehart, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Fanny Garrison Villard, film actress Nazimova, Judge Ben Lindsay, an original poem by John Whitcomb Riley (not listed in BAL), and recipes from Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Irwin Cobb, and Jack and Charmain London.

Blue pictorial cloth illustrated in black with image of Uncle Sam holding scales, weighing men and women as equals, covers a bit abraded, minor wear at extremities, somewhat crude repairs at top and tail of spine, repairs at hinges. …
