This is the forgotten history of women making, serving and drinking alcohol. So when did drinking become gendered? Drink has always been at the centre of social rituals and cultures worldwide-and women have been at the heart of its production and consumption.
And why are things from bars to whiskey considered 'masculine', when, without women, they might not exist? How have patriarchies tried to erase and exclude women from industries they've always led, and how have women fought back? With whip-smart insight and boundless curiosity, Girly Drinks unveils distillers, brewers, drinkers and bartenders with a vital role in the creation and consumption of alcohol, from Cleopatra, Catherine the Great and the real Veuve Clicquot to Chinese poets, medieval nuns and Prohibition bootleggers.
Mallory O'Meara's fun and fascinating history dismantles the long-standing myth that drink is a male tradition. Now, readers everywhere can discover each woman celebrated in this book-and proudly have what she's having.
