Allie Rowbottom

“This book was the story I had to write before I could write other things.” Writers Voices talks with Allie Rowbottom about her family memoir – Jell-O Girls. “She ( my mother) was especially vulnerable to the really damaging messaging of living in a patriarchy as a woman, especially at that point in history….Jello was such an icon of America and American values….We are all Jello girls. We’re all women living in America and in a specifically American patriarchy and that connects us.”
