JUIVE CUISINE] Council Cook Book. San Francisco, International Printing Co. 1909. In-8, publisher's cloth binding, 192 pp. 4 ff. of unnumbered advertisements, first edition. Original worn publisher's cloth binding. This is a rather rare cookbook, especially in presentable condition. It has the distinction of being the first Jewish cookbook published in California, and one of the first west of the Mississippi. An excellent early example of women's use of domestic space as a site for social action. Organized in 1893 and based in Chicago, the National Council of Jewish Women strove to "shape the destiny" of Jewish women and families by offering community support in the form of immigrant integration assistance, action for women's rights and support including financial aid and vocational training. Under the leadership of Hannah Greenebaum Solomon, the women wanted to create a space for Jewish women's identities and contributions, operating on a model similar to other national figures such as Jane Addams and Susan B. Anthony.
