À propos de cet audio

From Los Angeles Times bestselling author Mallory O'Meara comes a lively and engrossing feminist history of women drinking through the ages

Strawberry daiquiris. Skinny martinis. Vodka sodas with lime. These are the cocktails that come in sleek-stemmed glasses, bright colors and fruity flavors—these are the Girly Drinks.

From the earliest days of civilization, alcohol has been at the center of social rituals and cultures worldwide. But when exactly did drinking become a gendered act? And why have bars long been considered "places for men" when, without women, they might not even exist?

With whip-smart insight and boundless curiosity, Girly Drinks unveils an entire untold history of the female distillers, drinkers and brewers who have played a vital role in the creation and consumption of alcohol, from ancient Sumerian beer goddess Ninkasi to iconic 1920s bartender Ada Coleman. Filling a crucial gap in culinary history, O'Meara dismantles the long-standing patriarchal traditions at the heart of these very drinking cultures, in the hope that listeners everywhere can look to each celebrated woman in this book—and proudly have what she's having.

Somehow was good but not captivating for me. I ended book with lots of questions which is probably good.

Interesting

I thought book was going to be about various female brewers, distillers, bartenders, about various cocktails that women created and like to consume, their recepies etc. instead I got hardcore feminist manifesto with numerous historical inaccuracies. title should read Oppression of Women Through Ages because it's has very little to do with actual drinks and alcohol which I understood to be topic of this book.

not what I expected
