The contributors to Favorite Recipes of Famous Women (1925), unfortunately, are largely identified by their husband’s names and often more reliant on his notoriety than their own: Mrs. [Cristina] Henry Ford offers a winter strawberry shortcake; Mrs. [Mina Miller] Thomas Edison—further reduced to “wife of electrical genius”—contributes a cheese soufflé; Mrs. Edna Woolman Chase (bearing her own name!), then editor of Vogue, presents a cranberry pie; and Mrs. [Grace] Calvin Coolidge offers a pineapple salad.
