In "Spirited Women: Makers, Shakers, and Trailblazers in the World of Cocktails," Sammi Katz and Olivia McGiff explore the achievements of women in the traditionally male-dominated cocktail industry. The book highlights the progress made since the 1976 repeal of laws that restricted women's participation in bars. Katz emphasizes that while women have made significant strides, biases persist, reflecting on the challenges female professionals still face. The work focuses on diverse roles, from mixologists to brand owners, showcasing the influential women driving change in this field.
"The drinks industry has been vastly improved by featuring and championing the women in it who are doing incredible things... but the history of women being banned from drinking in or working in bars is too recent to ignore."
"I don't know a woman in this industry who hasn't at some point been asked if she's 'sure' she can lift that keg."
