Lena Richard and Julia Child: Two Women Who Changed Culinary History
Through their cookbooks, teaching, and television programs, these extraordinary women inspired generations of people to take cooking seriously.

Their stories, reflective of their very different backgrounds, reveal insights about women, race, food, and culture in 20th-century America.
