*Author's Note
My books are intended to provide an accessible and engaging overview of remarkable women's lives, rather than a comprehensive academic analysis complete with references and bibliography. I write for general readers who want history that feels human and alive. I blend expository and narrative styles — weaving solid research into story, scene, dialogue, and explanation — without footnotes or in-text referencing.
My aim is simple: to let these women's struggles and triumphs breathe on the page, and to share their grit, resilience, and freedom with readers today.
Have you ever been intrigued by the gutsy women who thrived during the Prohibition era, brewing illegal moonshine right under the authorities' noses? Female Bootleggers: The women Who Made And Sold Moonshine is your essential guide to diving deep into the untold stories of these audacious female bootleggers who defied the law, brewed illicit spirits, and lived life on the edge. This book fills a critical gap in historical literature, bringing to light the fascinating tales of women who not only made moonshine but also evaded the law with cunning and finesse.
This book explores their motivations, from economic necessity to sheer rebellion, in a time when society expected them to adhere to strict norms. Learn about the economic hardships and personal tragedies that pushed these women to bootlegging, and discover how they used their unique skills and intuition to flourish in a male-dominated underworld.
