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 />
