By the Middle Ages, some sold beer at English markets. Female brewers wore tall, pointy hats to be easily spotted. They stood by cauldrons & often had cats to keep mice away.

Originally âThe Landlordâs Game,â it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists of her time like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
