       TITLE: Bootlegging mothers and drinking daughters: gender and
              Prohibition in Butte, Montana.
      SOURCE: American Quarterly v. 46 (June '94) p. 174-94 map.
   ABSTRACTS: A discussion of the effects of Prohibition on the women of
              Butte, Montana.  Prior to Prohibition, drinking in Butte was
              governed by the clearly defined social rules that saloons were
              male preserves reflecting the ethnic and occupational strata
              of the community and that if reputable women drank, they did
              so at home.  With the advent of Prohibition, however, women
              became involved in liquor production, distribution, and
              consumption.  Prohibition effectively created new social
              spaces in the shape of speakeasies and nightclubs where both
              men and women drank publicly, heralding a redefinition of sex
              roles in one of the most gender-segregated arenas of leisure.
              Prohibition provided women with new economic opportunities,
              greater choices of public leisure, and an opportunity to widen
              the definition of respectable female behavior. .
