eatdrink: The Local Food & Drink Magazine<br />
drawing up a short list every year. All of these<br />
women would have been a natural fit back<br />
in 2018 or 2019. I know I will say something<br />
similar next year. For those who will protest<br />
the omission of a certain woman here, I can<br />
only assure them that there is next year, and<br />
thank them for their advocacy on behalf of<br />
a strong woman. We do appreciate feedback,<br />
and we welcome suggestions. We’ll keep<br />
publishing this special annual compilation<br />
for the foreseeable future, and be mindful of<br />
celebrating women’s achievements in every<br />
issue of the magazine.<br />
Beyond our general roundup of distinguished<br />
women, we asked our regular contributors<br />
to turn their attention to this issue’s theme.<br />
I believe our readers will be pleased with the<br />
results. I especially like the conversation about<br />
women and beer in George Macke’s “Ladies’<br />
Entrance” column for its balance in looking<br />
back at where the culture has been versus<br />
where we are now. Sexism is sometimes a<br />
subtle force, but with beer it has been blatant.<br />
I’ve long been an admirer of Sue Sutherland<br />
Wood’s take on life, and she hits the mark<br />
