      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.
