The ownership and management of the café allows Idgie and Ruth to negotiate and redefine their identities in the context of racial oppression and subordination of white women. Their decision to run a café together has a twofold significance: they reject/transcend domesticity, a socially prescribed space for women, and they act on their increased sensitivity to help the disempowered and oppressed – the black and the poor – during the Jim Crow period. In the early 1930s Idgie and Ruth, the main heroines in Flagg’s novel, move out of their respective homes into the back of the café, which will offer its services till 1969.

The titular café run by two white women, Idgie Threadgoode and Ruth Jamison, becomes a site of contestation of that very social order. The American South’s social order, based as it was on white supremacy and subordination of women, is reflected in the space of the café in Fannie Flagg’s Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café.
