This article addresses a key aspect of the many issues surrounding the transmission of female knowledge: the written transmission of culinary knowledge and its theoretical, practical, performative and economic aspects. It will focus on Argentina in the late 1930s and early 1940s, a period that saw the consolidation of the consumer society and the emergence on the publishing market of the women's magazine Damas y damitas, which will serve as the empirical reference for this analysis. In this publication, we find the figure of the bursar responsible for teaching cooking skills, but also for prescribing a particular lifestyle for her peers and teaching them to choose (a particular brand).

Palabras llave : Women; consumer society; transmission; cooking; domestic economy.
