AUTHOR: Mancall, Peter C.
TITLE: Men, women, and alcohol in Indian villages in the Great Lakes
region in the early republic.
SOURCE: Journal of the Early Republic v. 15 (Fall '95) p. 425-48
ABSTRACTS: Part of a special issue on gender in the early Republic. An
examination of the effects of the consumption of alcohol in
Indian villages in the Great Lakes region on gender relations.
The writer describes how alcohol became a fixture of ordinary
and religious life for both men and women in the Indian
population in this region. The fact that women became
involved in the drinking and trading of liquor, he notes, was
unsurprising as they played a major role in religion and the
economy in their societies. He outlines various initiatives
aimed at regulating the liquor trade with Indians and at
promoting temperance in Indian communities. He concludes that
the attacks on the liquor trade and the focusing of religious
pressure for temperance on men conspired to subvert women's
traditional roles in these areas.
