Jell-O Girls: A Conversation with Allie Rowbottom

Join us for an exclusive chat with author, Allie Rowbottom, as she talks about the food and feminist themes that infuse her new book, Jell-O Girls: A Family History, available on July 24th, 2018. "A gripping examination of the dark side of an iconic American product and a moving portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its fractured fortune, Jell-O Girls is a family history, a feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love, and loss. In crystalline prose, Rowbottom considers the roots of trauma not only in her own family but in the American psyche as well, ultimately weaving a tale that is deeply personal and deeply connected to the collective female experience."  Learn more about your ad choices.
