As alcohol continues to spark debate about behaviors, attitudes, and gender roles, Domesticating Drink provides valuable historical context and important lessons for understanding and responding to the evolving use, and abuse, of drink. The Off Season by Professor Catherine Gilbert Murdock and a great selection of related books, art and collectibles available now at .uk. Murdock’s study of how this development took place broadens our understanding of the social and cultural history of alcohol and the various issues that surround it. At the same time, respectable women drank at home, in a pattern of moderation at odds with contemporaneous male alcohol abuse.ĭuring the 1920s, with federal prohibition a reality, many women began to assert their hard won sense of freedom by becoming social drinkers in places other than the home. As a result, women stood at the fore of the temperance and prohibition movements and, as Murdock explains, effectively used the fight against drunkenness as a route toward political empowerment and participation. For much of early American history, men generally did the drinking, and women and children were frequently the victims of alcohol associated violence and abuse. In Domesticating Drink, Murdock argues that the debates surrounding alcohol also marked a divide along gender lines. The period of prohibition, from 1919 to 1933, marks the fault line between the cultures of Victorian and modern America.

Valente’s Space Opera, the criteria for sentience is one that perhaps goes a little understudied, shall we say?

How do you determine if a species is sentient? Do you go running and hiding behind René Descartes when asked? Rig-up some kind of ad-hoc test to see if they are capable of a subjective, private point of view? Or are you of the mind that if critters have feelings, that should be good enough?
