Men have repeatedly seized control and forced women out of the business. Wherever and whenever the cottage brewing industry has grown profitable, politics, religion, and capitalism have grown greedy. It's a history that's simultaneously inspiring and demeaning. A Woman's Place Is in the Brewhouse celebrates the contributions of female brewers and explores the forces that have erased them from the brewing world. 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 Medieval and Renaissance Europe, and the settling of colonial America. It's women, not men, who've brewed beer throughout most of human history.
