Elizabeth Black Kander (1858 1940) was an American progressive reformer, philanthropist and author, founder of a settlement house in Milwaukee, where she originated her best-known work, The Settlement Cookbook. The settlement house movement was an American charitable, progressive social effort to welcome immigrants and help them adjust to American life. "To keep the Settlement House in operation longer, it had to find a more stable source of funding. Kander suggested creating a cookbook with her cooking class recipes supplemented with recipes by her fellow club-women.She compiled a 174-page collection of recipes, household hints, and advice on housekeeping. The book also served as a tool for its audience to better assimilate into the American way of life.The first Settlement Cook Book was published in 1901 and its 1,000 copies sold out within one year. The book proved so popular that 34 subsequent editions totaling 2 million copies followed the original edition.The first Settlement Cook Book was published in 1901 and its 1,000 copies sold out within one year.
