Cooking in Other Women's Kitchens: Domestic Workers in the South,1865-1960
by Rebecca Sharpless
I really enjoyed this! Sharpless's use of a variety of voices and stories really lend weight to her story, and was a really great, refreshing look at the work that Black women were doing as domestic workers. The number of historical actors she highlights may get a little dizzying at times, as she moves thematically rather than chronologically, but it really worked well for me, and I think her explicit disavowal of the "Mammy" stereotype is very effective.
