Jell-O Girls: A Family History by Allie Rowbottom

I picked up this book as a fan of the kitschy appeal of jell-o, but BOY did it deliver far beyond that. This sweeping personal and commercial history is a feminist exploration of the pitfalls and benefits of wealth, the complications of motherhood, food, health, and how we treat our bodies. This book is about everything and this book is everything. I adored it. So glad Rowbottom was able to share her family's story this way.
