1935-09: (The Revolutionary Feminist Menu — Beatrice Verna Her Husband Clément Verna and Cohost Madame D. Alexis Presenting Their Guests with a Menu That Fused Food with the Names of US Suffragists and Haitian Revolutionary Women: Helena Woodham Mary Winsor Cucumber Claire Heureuse Fish Adélina Salad and Marie-Jeanne Coffee — an Aesthetic and Strategic Display Pairing Women’s Rights Activists with the Sustenance of the Gathering): If attendees were not moved by the speeches in favor of feminism, they were likely enticed by the Saint-Marc committee’s hospitality. Beatrice Verna, her husband Clément Verna, and cohost Madame D. Alexis presented their guests with a revolutionary feminist menu: Helena Woodham, Mary Winsor cucumber, Claire Heureuse fish, Adélina salad, and Marie-Jeanne coffee. The menu’s fusion of food with the names of US suffragists and Haitian revolutionary women was an aesthetic and strategic display — every dish a declaration that the struggle for women’s rights was nourishment, that feminism could be tasted and shared, that the revolutionary tradition was as present as the meal on the table.
