This book focuses on the evolution of the AmericanWoman Chef, her journey from the domestic sphere tothe public sphere of paid chef status, considerationof food, power and gender and the outside influencesthat have contributed to her struggles and hersuccesses in climbing the career ladder of a maledominated industry. I begin from the hypothesis thatthe obstacles to women’s success in professionalkitchens stem from the resonance of traditionalpatriarchal and cultural attitudes toward women’sroles in the public and private spheres. This bookattempts to demonstrate the patent falseness of thismyth and others by utilizing scientific researchjournal articles, personal interviews with womenculinary professionals and a review of the socialhistory of women and their passage from private livesinto public participants.
