In 1876, during Philadelphia's centennial celebrations of the Declaration of Independence, Susan B. Anthony and the National Woman Suffrage Association presented their "Declaration of Rights" for women. Inspired by the Declaration itself, they boldly demanded equality, distributing copies to acting Vice President Thomas W. Ferry and the crowd. This event sparked ongoing demands for women's rights. #LibraryofCongress #Women #Equality #Rights https://lnkd.in/eTSJSh9i

Imagine being in the 1400s contemplating how to cook with a multitude of ingredients without any instructions on their proper use. It was challenging to comprehend until Maestro Martino, a chef, created the first Italian cookbook “Libro de arte coquinaria." He provided detailed written instructions on how to handle primary ingredients and make dishes. Centuries later, this inspired cooks in Lombardy to document recipes by hand to preserve culinary knowledge for future generations. #LibraryofCongress #Cooking https://lnkd.in/e3WV_N_q
