In both “Coming Home” and “Grandmothers”, it is evident that food provided the female characters with a sense of identity either establishing weakness or strength. Although seemingly limiting, the food, and its preparation allowed the women presented to communicate through each meal. INTRODUCE MORE OF THE…
