  Encyclopedia: Aunt Jemima
Aunt Jemima is depicted as a fat, smiling, bright-eyed fl woman, originally wearing a kerchief over her hair.
Aunt Jemima is characteristic of most advertising with fl women as a reminder that their place was in the kitchen; and the majority of advertising is associated with food.
Aunt Jemima is no longer a slave but either a housewife or some other benevolent mother figure, and her kerchief has been eliminated for a more modern hairstyle and pearls.

 Aunt Sally - The Online Guide
Aunt Sally is played by players throwing batons at a wooden skittle known as a doll and goes back at least as far as the 17th Century.
Aunt Sally appears to be a development of skittles whereby this "Kingpin" became the sole interest of the game and the other skittles were dispensed with.
In Aunt Sally, the single white stubby skittle, about 6 inches high and 2 and 3/4 inches in diameter, is called "dolly" and the round-ended projectiles, of which there are six, are 18 inches long, 2 inches in diameter and are called "sticks".

 Aunt Cynthia's Persian Cat.
But a Persian cat with a recorded pedigree and a market value of one hundred dollars tickled Aunt Cynthia's pride of possession to such an extent that she deluded herself into believing that the animal was really the apple of her eye.
When you have an unencumbered aunt, with a fat bank account, it is just as well to keep on good terms with her, if you can.
Aunt Cynthia was one of those rather exasperating people who nag at and find fault with you until you think you are justified in hating them, and who then turn round and do something so really nice and kind for you that you feel as if you were compelled to love them dutifully instead.

 Slave in a Box: The Strange Career of Aunt Jemima, by M.M. Manring
Although Aunt Jemima has undergone many makeovers over the years, she apparently has not lost her commercial appeal; her face graces more than forty food products nationwide and she still resonates in some form for millions of Americans.
Aunt Jemima's ready-mixed products offered middle-class housewives the next best thing to a fl servant: a "slave in a box" that conjured up romantic images of not only the food but also the social hierarchy of the plantation South.
The initial success of the Aunt Jemima brand, Manring reveals, was based on a variety of factors, from lingering attempts to reunite the country after the Civil War to marketing strategies around World War I. Her continued appeal in the late twentieth century is a more complex and disturbing phenomenon we may never fully understand.
