And in some cases she has even added the Womens addresses, I love that she gave each woman her rightful place in life and not just as some man,s wife. <br />I imagine my Gran was a very emancipated female.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260642250519868482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-56155405367500738892010-12-24T16:03:56.198-05:002010-12-24T16:03:56.198-05:00Oh I love those cookbooks.

Recipes contributed from those who work with hospice and those who have received their services and contributed recipes in memory of their loved ones. There's so much history and love in a book like that. Have a wonderful Christmas and best wishes in the new year.Margueritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377516887669269657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-84793669099073039652010-12-24T15:56:58.206-05:002010-12-24T15:56:58.206-05:00Merry Christmas Jane!

Sure glad we have progressed from there! I took my husband's name...I liked it. But it's nice to know we have a choice!<br /><br />Cookies look delicious!<br /><br />Jane, Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13940623529019637336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-36861822424262413782010-12-24T13:07:57.614-05:002010-12-24T13:07:57.614-05:00I have old cookbooks like that, I remember when my...I have old cookbooks like that, I remember when my mum couldn't get a payment plan to buy a television without my dads signature, ( which she refused to do) even though she had her own income, so I borrowed the money in my name for her, I was 18 & just started work, but I wasn't married so I could sign for the payment plan on my own.<br />Sometimes I get frustrated that young women don't know how far we've come in just a few short years!<br /><br />on another note, merry christmas, hope you have a lovely day with the family.Louisehttp://eliminate-my-debt.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-30077897206854666292010-12-24T11:57:18.147-05:002010-12-24T11:57:18.147-05:00lol, love the ad.
And you're right - the names...lol, love the ad.<br />And you're right - the names of those women! I cannot imagine being known like that.<br />In fact, while I did take my husband's name, I did so with a pang.<br />The family photo is great, too. I love those old photos.<br />Have a great Christmas!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893269455295692105.post-59149632435426451312010-12-24T11:45:15.732-05:002010-12-24T11:45:15.732-05:00I always think about that same thing whenever I se...I always think about that same thing whenever I see older recipes! For years though my mom signed her name Mrs ___ ___ instead of using her own first name. I kinda like taking the hubby's last name but by God I have a first name and it's NOT Mrs!<br /><br />might have to get a magnifying glass to see those recipes better(but I'll wait and see if I'm still doing weight watchers) yes I'm officially attempting to lose weight and eat healthier now!<br /><br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
