Absolutely fascinating micro history of women’s influence in alcohol and brewing.
Highly recommend as a first glance at women who shaped the drinking industry globally.
Mallory is quite funny and times her humor perfectly to draw a chuckle out. Also, her voice and personality is clear and jumps off the page. It almost feels as though she is telling you these stories over a drink.
“All drinks are Girly Drinks!” Cheers!

A freaking FASCINATING micro-history of women in distilling, brewing, bar keeping, bootlegging and bar tending. A total delight.
This book is a must if you care about women, history, and/or booze. What truly sets it apart from other books on the history of alcohol is that the author spends a lot of time discussing drinking traditions from areas of the globe outside of Europe and North America. This full world view of women in alcohol history is a welcome change from the standard Westernized version of drinks history. This book is also fun and doesn't take itself too seriously while talking about, at times, some very serious stuff.

Girly Drinks fizzes with insight, showcasing a global feminist history that demonstrates the sharp entrepreneurial acuity and inventiveness of women in the world of alcohol.
-
Championing a plethora of fascinating women from across the globe, Girly Drinks brings into sharp focus how drinking culture and production is impacted by global gender politics. And, ultimately, shows that is yet another frontier through which women historically and contemporarily have fought to conquer the patriarchal sanctions foisted upon them. Girly Drinks is a literary libation.

What an amazing history of alcohol throughout the world as seen through the eyes of women. I enjoyed it. The last couple chapters seemed to be a slower pace then the rest, but maybe it was just that it was more modern day history. I absolutely love the research that the author does and the way she is willing to break the 4th wall to speak to the reader! Looking forward to her newest book coming this year.
