SUMMARY:Jennifer A Jordan\, author of Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them
DESCRIPTION:Boswell hosts an evening with UWM Professor of Sociology\, History\, and Urban Studies Jennifer A Jordan\, who appears with Beer Ghosts\, her new book that explores the little-known story of the young women who worked on Wisconsin’s hop farms during the 19th century and played a vital role in the rise of America’s breweries.  \nTue\, 10/20/2026 – 6:30pm\nPlace: Boswell Book Company\n2559 N Downer Ave\nMilwaukee\, WI 53211-4242 \nJennifer A Jordan journeys back to a brief but pivotal moment in the 19th century when Wisconsin produced much of the hops grown in the United States to explore the lives of the young women whose work at harvest time was key to the rise of the American beer industry. Until the early twentieth century\, the work of picking hops was a time-consuming process that could only be done by hand\, work was performed almost exclusively by women and girls\, who traveled to hop farms in droves as summer came to a close and the harvest began. At the height of the hop boom in the 1860s\, farmers and their families laid out beds and prepared food for tens of thousands of seasonal laborers\, and hosted parties and dances well into the night. Jordan draws on a trove of archival sources\, from the thousands of hop farmers in the agricultural census to the extraordinary diary of a single hop picker\, a young woman named Ella\, and gives life and voice to these beer ghosts who call to us from the past\, showing the rich connections between a nation’s beer and the lives that made it possible. \nRSVP to Jennifer A Jordan\, author of Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them
