In 1300, women brewed and sold most of the ale drunk in England, but by 1600 the industry was largely controlled by men. Ale, Beer and Brewsters investigates this change, asking how, when, and why brewing ceased to be a woman's trade and became a trade of men. In doing so, Bennett sheds new light on a central problem in women's history: the effects of early capitalism on the status of women's work.

Denis Kilcommons, Huddersfield Daily Examiner fascinating facts and figures

Helen Jewell, Urban History This is a stimulating book setting out developments in the brewing industry in a thought-provoking way ... The book is well written, supplied with excellent endnotes testifying to the breadth of the author's scholarly contacts as well as her own researches, and provided with a full bibliography, helpful index and a useful note on pre-decimal currency and medieval liquid measures.

The Times Higher Education Supplement an original contribution to this history of drinking and brewing in England ... Bennett's original contribution to the field is the study that she has made of the surviving records for breaches of the assize of ale. Bennett's volume will be of considerable interest to scholars and students working in a number of different areas.
