In 1914 after six years of secretly running the company, Rose Knox revealed that she\u2019d<br \/>assumed her deceased husband\u2019s position as the company\u2019s president. With creativity and<br \/>persistence, she then skillfully drew upon traditional ideals of domesticity and womanhood to<br \/>turn Knox Gelatine into an iconic American brand and herself into a business celebrity.<br \/>While gelatine may seem retro today, its low-cost flexibility made it a kitchen staple until the<br \/>1970s. With cookbooks, an elegantly curated persona, and a strong conviction that running a<br \/>household could prepare women to lead businesses as well as men, Knox became nationally<br \/>famous, grew revenues eight-fold and built a million-dollar company. Millions of women found<br \/>her example inspiring, loved her recipes, and admired her balancing of home and business. By<br \/>her presentation, she disrupted conventional views of women in business even though she didn\u2019t<br \/>outwardly support suffrage, and never argued against the household and domestic expectations<br \/>placed on women.<br \/>Rachel Greenfield intersperses gelatine recipes from the Knox brand throughout Knox\u2019s story\u2014<br \/>including Fruit Salad Sweet, Tomato Jelly Molded with Eggs, Chocolate Blanc Mange, and<br \/>Strawberry Bavarian Cream\u2014reminding us how integral gelatine was to kitchens and homes<br \/>throughout the US. An impressive and captivating story of entrepreneurial excellence and<br \/>resilience despite personal tragedy, Rose Knox is a must-read contribution to the history of<br \/>women in business and a triumph of a woman\u2019s food and business savvy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rose Knox is the fascinating story of the woman who ran the famous Knox Gelatine brand fordecades.
