Beskrivning
The relationship between women and food has been examined from multiple perspectives across various disciplines, revealing a connection that is both profound and filled with social and cultural meaning. This continuously changing relationship, significant and with deep historical roots, remains evident today.In this book, Marzia Mauriello explores this dynamic connection in depth, analyzing the four principal axes that structure the connection between women and food: production, preparation, distribution, and consumption. At each of these stages, the gendered dimensions of this relationship become apparent, intertwined with social and cultural meanings. Mauriello presents ethnographic case studies from around the globe to highlight these complexities, incorporating a historical perspective that traces the dynamics of continuity and flux among these themes over time. Multidisciplinary and accessible, it will be of great interest to students and scholars in anthropology, sociology, history, gender and food studies.

"Appropriately enough, I devoured this new book! It's written with anthropologist Marzia Mauriello's characteristically engaging erudition and humanity: rarely have I hungered more to break bread with an author. Women and Food makes visible, through its seductive autoethnographic lens, the power of women to effect profound global change, from the fields, through the kitchen, and way, way beyond."Emma Rees, University of Chester"By tracing the relationships connecting women and food through production, preparation, distribution, and consumption, Mauriello succeeds in bringing together ethnographic observations from all over the world with broader reflections on food systems, ecology, and the economics of eating. Arising from the ambivalence between care and creativity, duty and pleasure, subordination and agency, the feminine dimension emerges as central to culinary practices and the cultures in which they develop."Fabian Parasecoli, NYU Steinhardt
