In this eBook, the first issue of our anthology of food memoirs, we bring you 20 funny, sad, touching, personal stories centered on 20 mouthwatering, unusual, treasured family recipes. But that’s not all. Each woman shares more than her story and recipe with you. She has included photographs and other memorabilia that help convey the times and people in her stories. Kitchen Scraps is the first series in our ScrapMoir line of publications. Scrapbooks are all about photographs that record events in our lives. Memoirs are all about words that tell the stories of our lives. For the first time, we have created a publication that integrates the best of both — the ScrapMoir.

Meet Rosie’s Daughters…
The breakthrough book about the generation of women that broke through centuries of limitations to take their place in the world. They were born during world war II and came of age in the 60s… both shaped by and an influencer of their times. These prosecutor of the baby boomers achieved more “firsts” than any group of women before or since, earning them the name of “First Woman To” Generation.
Rosie’s Daughters heralds Rosie the Riveter as the icon for our mothers who built ships, flew bombers and filled thousands of other essential wartime jobs, upending traditional views of “womens’s work.” When the war was over, however, American industry thanked Rosie and sent her home.
Rosie’s Daughter flung wide the doors of employment opportunity that Rosie had unlocked. Their stories show how the post-war education boom, sexual revolution, civil rights and gender equality, the Vietnam War, consciousness raising, Roe V. Wade, no fault divorce and other events influenced their lives and shapes their journeys.
Authors Matilda Butler and Kendra Bonnett have rewritten the rules for book design. They push beyond conventional format to give the first person stories of the more than 100 women interviewed a multidimesnsional context within the historical narrative that spans six decades of change- social, cultural, economic and political. It’s a feast for mind and eye.
The results is Rosie’s Daughters, an inspiring read that is informative and entertaining.
