What better way to kick off the return of StoryFest than
with an abundance of Girly Drinks! Participants are invited to celebrate the
(East Coast) launch of Mallory O’Meara’s highly anticipated book about the
history of women and alcohol. This will be a virtual presentation, complete with a receipe for a signature drink by SoNo 1420.
From the earliest days of civilization, alcohol has been at
the center of social rituals and cultures worldwide. With smart insight and
boundless curiosity, Girly Drinks unveils the untold history of the female
distillers, drinkers, and brewers who have played a vital role in the creation
and consumption of alcohol, from ancient Sumerian beer makers to Russian
bootlegging grandmothers. Filling a crucial gap in culinary history, O’Meara
dismantles the long-standing patriarchal traditions at the heart of these very
drinking cultures, in the hope that readers everywhere can look to each
celebrated woman in this book.
