Boardinghouse women : how southern keepers, cooks, nurses, widows, and runaways shaped modern America / by Engelhardt, Elizabeth S. D.(Elizabeth Sanders Delwiche),1969-author.(CARDINAL)307771;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Like no other business in the world -- The invention of southern food: Mary Randolph and Malinda Russell -- Boardinghouse keepers as business innovators: Alice Lee Larkins and Julia Wolfe -- Caretaking, nurturing, and nursing: Huldah Sarvice and Texie Gordon -- Using boardinghouses for political ends: Mary Ellen Pleasant and Mary Surratt -- Sex, drink, and seduction: Sarah Hinton and Lola Walker -- Safe passage in Jim Crow's boardinghouses: Jackie Mabley and Frank Gilbert -- Boardinghouse rooms of their own: Anne Royall and Ida May Beard -- Creating modern southern lunches: Mary Hamilton and Della McCullers -- Boardinghouse futures: Airbnb, assisted living, and side hustling."... Elizabeth Engelhardt argues that modern American food, business, caretaking, politics, sex, travel, writing, and restaurants all owe a debt to boardinghouse women in the South. From the eighteenth century well into the twentieth, entrepreneurial women ran boardinghouses throughout the South; some also carried the institution to far-flung places like California, New York, and London. Owned and operated by Black, Jewish, Native American, and white women, rich and poor, immigrant and native-born, these lodgings were often hubs of business innovation and engines of financial independence for their owners. Within their walls, boardinghouse residents and owners developed the region's earliest printed cookbooks, created space for making music and writing literary works, formed ad hoc communities of support, tested boundaries of race and sexuality, and more. Engelhardt draws on a vast archive to recover boardinghouse women's stories, revealing what happened in the kitchens, bedrooms, hallways, back stairs, and front porches as well as behind closed doors--legacies still with us today"--
