Dr Alex Ketchum

Dr. Alex Ketchum, an assistant professor and author of *Ingredients for Revolution*, dives into the fascinating world of feminist restaurants and coffeehouses from the 1970s and 1980s. These spaces aimed to challenge traditional working hierarchies while promoting ethical sourcing and fair wages. Ketchum discusses their unique naming trends, the debates around inclusion, and the innovative practices like no-tipping that influenced modern dining. Despite their short lifespans, these establishments laid the groundwork for today's feminist and inclusive café culture.
