📝 Description: Women of Wine: The Rise of Women in the Global Wine Industry

"Ann Matasar has documented the struggles and strategies of contemporary women to succeed and lead in wine. Her stories are diverse, instructive, powerful, and poignant."--Zelma Long, Zelphi Wines "An engaging story that pays homage to the women at the crossroads of wine's cultural history. With penetrating insight and deep affection, Ann Matasar tells the story of these pioneering women through fascinating oral histories."--Anne Rosenzweig, founding board member of the International Association of Women Chefs and Restaurateurs "Ann Matasar has performed the tricky task of addressing women's roles in the wine world without resorting to tiresome gender stereotypes. Her book proves that, despite the challenges, women make an ever-increasing contribution to wine at every level of production, commerce, and appreciation."--Mary Ewing-Mulligan, MW, co-author of "Wine Style" and "Wine For Dummies," and President, International Wine Center

Cookbook desk

Ann Matasar presents an engaging and poignant collection of oral histories documenting the struggles and triumphs of contemporary women in wine. It delivers diverse and instructive stories suitable for professionals, students of wine, and curious appreciators alike. However, it does not suit readers looking for a traditional technical winemaking manual, a rigid tasting guide, or a recipe collection, as its focus remains firmly on human stories, cultural history, and industry leadership rather than oenological chemistry.
