This inspiring, engagingly written book, with its personal approach
and global scope, is the first to explore womenOCOs increasingly
influential role in the wine industry, traditionally a very
male-dominated domain. "Women of Wine "draws on interviews with
dozens of leading women winemakers, estate owners, professors,
sommeliers, wine writers, and others in the United States, the
United Kingdom, France, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, and
elsewhere to create a fascinating mosaic of the women currently
shaping the wine world that also offers a revealing insidersOCO
look at the wine industry. To set the stage, Ann B. Matasar
chronicles the historical barriers to womenOCOs participation in
the industry, reviews post-World War II changes that created new
opportunities for them, and pays tribute to a few extraordinary
nineteenth-century women who left their mark on wine despite the
odds against them. She then turns to her primary topic: an
accessible discussion of women associated with some of the most
prestigious wineries and institutions in both the Old and New
Worlds that emphasizes their individual and collective
contributions. Matasar also considers issues of importance to women
throughout the business world including mentors, networking,
marriage, family, education, self-employment versus the corporate
life, and risk taking."
