Drawing on ethnographic research in Ozurgeti, it reveals how domestic practices serve as powerful expressions of female agency. From the 19th century to the post-Soviet era, Georgian women have used food to navigate socio-economic crises, reshape family structures, and preserve cultural identity. The book combines feminist anthropology and food studies to challenge assumptions about women’s roles in traditional societies. By focusing on everyday acts of sustenance, it offers a nuanced view of how women actively shape both private and public life. A vital contribution to gender studies, anthropology, and post-Soviet research, this book enhances our understanding of food as a site of social change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-08-12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783031978135\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44309919203468,"sku":"9783031978135","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031978135.jpg?v=1768940962","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031978135","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
