A study of fem­i­nist restau­rants in the Unit­ed States, from 1972 to the present. In 1972, a restau­rant called Moth­er Courage opened in New York – fol­lowed by more than 230 fem­i­nist cafes, cof­fee­hous­es, and restau­rants across the Unit­ed States over the next fifty years. Ingre­di­ents for Rev­o­lu­tion col­lects their sto­ries for the first time, show­cas­ing the vital role these insti­tu­tions played in the fight for wom­en’s lib­er­a­tion, LGBTQ equal­i­ty, and food jus­tice. Alex D. Ketchum sur­veys these busi­ness­es’ var­i­ous finan­cial mod­els and dives into broad­er issues of labor, food sourc­ing, and cul­tur­al pro­gram­ming to under­stand how these women yoked fem­i­nist and cap­i­tal­ist com­mit­ments toward a more equi­table mar­ket­place. Brim­ming with archival research, inter­views, and pho­tographs, Ingre­di­ents for Rev­o­lu­tion is a fun­da­men­tal work of wom­en’s, food, and cul­tur­al history.
