Ale, Beer, and Brewsters in England : Women's Work in a Changing World, 1300-1600.

Mostrar otras versiones (2)

In 1300, women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in England, but by 1600 the industry was largely controlled by men. This work asks how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a woman's trade. In doing so, it sheds light on the effects of early capitalism on the status of women's work.
