Six Women Who Shaped What Americans Eat tells the stories of six women whose lives and careers influenced American food culture: Hazel Stiebeling, Poppy Cannon, Julia Child, Frances Moore LappÉ, Marion Nestle, and Alice Waters. Each of these women had a substantial impact on American cuisine, attitudes toward food, and what people chose to eat. They highlighted the politics of food, the pleasure of food, the connection between food and health, and the environmental harm of poor food choices.
