ZELD2682 - Social History of the Tearoom Craze in America w/ Judi Slack (Winter - West)

Course Description

The Gypsy Tea Kettle. Polly's Cheerio Tea Room. The Mad Hatter. The Blue Lantern Inn. These are just a few of the many tearooms — most owned and operated by women — that popped up across America at the turn of the last century, exploding into a full-blown craze by the 1920s. This course will take you back to the exciting days when countless women realized their dream of opening their own tearoom. From the Bohemian streets of New York's Greenwich Village to the high-society tearooms of Chicago's poshest hotels and the Colonial roadside tea houses of New England to the welcoming bungalows of California, this course will trace the social, artistic and culinary changes the tearoom helped bring about. Return to the days when women celebrated independence, artistic expression and the American spirit, all in a humble cup of tea.
