📝 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

This volume is not for the casual drinker seeking tasting notes or simple pairing guides; it demands engagement with sociological and professional themes. Readers uninterested in corporate history, gender studies, or the human side of industrial labor may find the focus on 'struggles and strategies' tedious rather than illuminating. However, for those willing to engage with oral histories, it offers a poignant look at career advancement. The tone is respectful and insightful, avoiding tired tropes while documenting real professional hurdles. It serves as a vital record for historians and industry professionals alike, though its niche focus limits its appeal to general wine enthusiasts who prefer technical instruction over cultural analysis.
