Early 1900 women could not even vote. But Joel Ross made his daughters partners. They ran one of New York’s most iconic food shops. Unheard of in those days. “& Daughters” was more than plain branding, it was a revolutionary statement. One that helped shape a century of smoked fish, and female ownership on the Lower East Side. Pictured is the smoked herring plate and bagel with lox pastrami. #FoodHistory #WomensHistory #NYCEats #JewishFood #HiddenHistory
