 rant Mother Courage of New York City\, Ingredients for Revolution: A Histo
 ry of American Feminist Restaurants\, Cafes\, and Coffeehouses is the firs
 t history of the more than 230 feminist and lesbian-feminist restaurants\,
  cafes\, and coffeehouses that existed in the United States from 1972 to t
 he present. As key sites of cultural and political significance\, this vol
 ume shows the essential role these institutions served for multiple social
  justice movements including women’s liberation\, LGBTQ equality\, and foo
 d justice\, as well as for training women workers and entrepreneurs.\n\nTh
 is systematic study outlines the crucial steps it took to establish these 
 businesses during eras when sexism was so institutionalized it was difficu
 lt for unmarried women to obtain a bank loan\, while also showing the cont
 inuities and influences of past businesses on contemporary places. Through
  an examination of important establishments across America\, Alex D. Ketch
 um first examines the foundational principles behind these businesses\, no
 ting key differences between cooperative\, for-profit\, and non-profit mod
 els. She then looks to issues of financing\, labour\, pay\, food sourcing\
 , and cultural programming to understand how these organizations reconcile
 d feminist beliefs with capitalism and how they strove for more equitable 
 and sustainable business practices.\n\nBrimming with illuminating archival
  research\, interviews with influential restaurateurs\, and illustrated wi
 th photographs\, menus\, posters\, and calendars\, Ingredients for Revolut
 ion is a fundamental work of women’s history\, food history\, and cultural
  history. '\n
