Living on the Earth Alicia Bay Laurel Vintage Book SC Random House 1971

Description: UP FOR SALE: Alicia Bay Laurel, Living on the Earth (Random House, 1971). Alicia Bay Laurel describes Living on the Earth: “There are many other books on this set of subjects, many of which cover them in greater depth than I do. But my book is not only a DIY book. It’s a portrait of a life lived inside the natural world, and outside of the corporate world.“ From The Berkley Revolution: Just as the counterculture food movement varied from person to person and kitchen to kitchen, the presumed role of women within the movement also varied, depending on the source. In the popular vegetarian cookbook Laurel’s Kitchen, for instance, women were asked to be the central figures of the movement since they were the traditional “keepers of the keys” to the household. For others, however, the movement was less focused on the “who”, and more focused on the “how”. This is where Alicia Bay Laurel and her manual Living on the Earth come in. Bay Laurel’s Living on the Earth, a manual for successful communal living, is much more than a traditional cookbook. It contains, in addition to recipes, directions for building stoves and keeping food cold without a refrigerator, as well as many other tips on how to become self-sustaining. Many of the images that accompany these how-to guides associate feminine women with traditionally masculine work, breaking down the stereotype that women belong only to the cooking process; instead, Bay Laurel stresses that they are actors in the whole process.PLEASE REFER TO ALL PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION OF THE ITEM *Vintage and secondhand items may have flaws.
