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. \u003ci\u003eA Woman's Place Is in the Brewhouse\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the contributions and influence of female brewers and explores the forces that have erased them from the brewing world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e It's a history that's simultaneously inspiring and demeaning.

Other times, women have simply lost the minimal independence, respect, and economic power brewing brought them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTara Nurin\u003c\/b\u003e is the beer and spirits contributor to \u003ci\u003eForbes \u003c\/i\u003eand an adjunct Beer 101 instructor at Wilmington University.
