Grace and Gumption: The Cookbook combines the history of Fort Worth and the city's brilliant, innovative women with their recipes. The cookbook takes a new approach to American culinary
studies, recording the lives of Fort Worth women as well as discussing the food that they prepared and ate. While many American women, particularly Anglos, remained within their homes in the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Grace and Gumption tells us about women who set aside those boundaries and spent their energies in works charitable and for profit. This book provides a
window into the lives of Fort Worth women that will engage readers and explore an even more intimate aspect of the lives of these outstanding women.
