According to historian Mary Murphy, the story of prohibition is one of bootlegging mothers, drinking daughters, and critical developments in how women worked and played in public. 

It was a brief moment in which women were able to redefine long-held sex roles, and “behavior followed structural change.” Prohibition “rattled” old, easily understood patterns of drinking, Murphy writes, and changed how women drank. Increasingly, women stepped up to the (underground) bar—and turned increased demand for alcohol into lucrative bootlegging businesses. “In all aspects of the liquor business,” she writes, “women moved into spaces that had once been reserved exclusively for men.”

And once Prohibition was repealed, “women would be damned if they gave up their freedom—or their cocktails.”
