Aunt Jemima's familiar beaming, warm smile and laughing eyes have
been associated with breakfast pancakes for generations of
Americans. "Invented" in 1888 to help market a new type of pancake
flour, Aunt Jemima has been represented by a good number of real
women and a tremendous number of collectible products. This book
displays hundred of the item available from Aunt Jemima's long
history, and provides fascinating or funny glimpses into over a
century of our nation's cultural history. Collectors interested in
kitchen memorabilia and/or African-American history will find this
book wonderfully eye-opening! Promotional items and advertisements
are presented, including doll families, recipe books, kitchen
utensils, menus, coloring books, and cooking set for children. The
complete story of Aunt Jemima's Pancake Mix, the myth of Aunt
Jemima herself, and the stories of the real women who portrayed her
are all told in this delightful book. A price guide is included.
