The Taste of Gender: A Gastrofeminist Reading of Ainslie Hogarth’s Motherthing
This paper demonstrates how taste and gender can be read together in literary analysis. I argue that the affective anchoring of taste in Motherthing (2022) expresses a gastrofeminist critique of traditional and late modern gender norms. This initial step toward a gastrofeminist literary criticism suggests a potential for examining the connections between taste and gender in ecocritical fiction, thereby elucidating the social mechanisms that shape our food cultures.
