Download or read book Whiskey Women written by Fred Minnick and published by Potomac Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortly after graduating from University of Glasgow in 1934, Elizabeth “Bessie” Williamson began working as a temporary secretary at the Laphroaig Distillery on the Scottish island Islay. Williamson quickly found herself joining the boys in the tasting room, studying the distillation process, and winning them over with her knowledge of Scottish whisky. After the owner of Laphroaig passed away, Williamson took over the prestigious company and became the American spokesperson for the entire Scotch whisky industry. Impressing clients and showing her passion as the Scotch Whisky Association’s trade ambassador, she soon gained fame within the industry, becoming known as the greatest female distiller. Whiskey Women tells the tales of women who have created this industry, from Mesopotamia’s first beer brewers and distillers to America’s rough-and-tough bootleggers during Prohibition. Women have long distilled, marketed, and owned significant shares in spirits companies. Williamson’s story is one of many among the influential women who changed the Scotch whisky industry as well as influenced the American bourbon whiskey and Irish whiskey markets. Until now their stories have remained untold.

Book excerpt: "You'll meet the Chivas brothers, James and John, an ambitious pair of upscale Aberdeen grocers who never owned or operated a distillery, but elevated the process of blending whiskies to a fine and very profitable art. The father-and-son team of George and John Gordon Smith, on the other hand, were hardy Highlands farmers from the Glenlivet district of Banffshire whose sideline malt whisky business became too lucrative to remain a part-time pursuit." "For all of their differences, the Smiths and the Chivas brothers shared a common dedication to quality, authenticity, and customer service. These two families - along with their flagship brands - transformed their local craft by creating first a nationwide, then a worldwide market for their products."--Jacket.
Book Synopsis Scotch Verdict* by : Lillian Faderman
Download or read book Scotch Verdict* written by Lillian Faderman and published by Quill. This book was released on 1983 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year: 1811. The place: Edinburgh, Scotland. A student accuses her school mistresses of having sex together. This leads to the immediate withdrawal of all their students and the collapse of their school. To clear their names - which are all they have left - they sue for libel. Drawing on original sources and her own informed imagination, noted feminist scholar Lillian Faderman reconstructs this real-life drama, which inspired Lillian Hellman's Broadway hit The Children's Hour. In court transcripts we follow the witnesses' contradictory testimony. In the judges' notes we see how men interpreted women's behavior in light of their prejudices. Through the testimony of the students of the school we learn about the social and sexual pressures that shaped the lives of nineteenth-century women. And in her personal reflections the author explains the meaning of these events for all women today. The result is a remarkable and gripping work of scholarship, a moving human drama that reveals life as it was truly lived in the nineteenth-century. For this challenge to the honor of two teachers raised troubling issues of class and justice, of social order, of whether or not women were sexual beings, capable of feeling the same desires and needs as men. Provocative and innovative, Scotch Verdict is a brilliant illumination of a crucial moment in women's history. -- from back cover.
