Ale, Beer, and Brewsters in England: Women's Work in a Changing World

Rating:
Summary: Chock full of information
Review: I've been researching beer & brewing and this book was a great look at the time when the business changed from a largely female run, household-based, business, to a guild-organized, male-dominated business. I had no idea how the Black Death contributed to this change. A fascinating book!
