Not just known notables like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Hedy Lamarr, but also unsung figures like Wrecking Crew session musician Carol Kaye, fearless tavern owner Dirty Helen Cromwell and antebellum Pinkerton detective Kate Warne. Dive in, drink and learn. If there's any justice, the mixologists who honor the women in these pages soon will be just as celebrated.
