Description: Dismiss the stereotype of the bearded brewer. It's women not men who ve brewed beer throughout most of human history. Their role as family and village brewer lasted for hundreds of thousands of years through the earliest days of Mesopotamian civilization the reign of Cleopatra the witch trials of early modern Europe and the settling of colonial America. A Woman's Place Is in the Brewhouse celebrates the contributions and influence of female brewers and explores the forces that have erased them from the brewing world. It's a history that's simultaneously inspiring and demeaning. Wherever and whenever the cottage brewing industry has grown profitable politics religion and capitalism have grown greedy. On a macro scale men have repeatedly seized control and forced women out of the business. Other times women have simply lost the minimal independence respect and economic power brewing brought them. But there are more breweries now than at any time in American history and today women serve as founder CEO or head brewer at more than one thousand of them. As women continue to work hard for equal treatment and recognition in the industry author Tara Nurin shows readers that women have been and are once again becoming relevant in the brewing world.
