Alewife (trade)
Alewife, also brewess or brewster,〔Judith M. Bennett, Ale, Beer and Brewsters in England: Women's Work in a Changing World, 1300–1600 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1996), p.3.〕 is a historical term for a woman who brewed ale for commercial sale.
==Etymology==
The word "alewife" is first known to have been used in England in the 15th century and is defined as "a woman who keeps an alehouse."〔Merriam-Webster, s.v. "Alewife," definition 1, accessed April 21, 2013, http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alewife.〕
However, the terms 'alewife' and also 'brewster' are used synonymously in the historiography of Medieval England, and the term "alewife" is now commonly used in translations of ancient texts to refer to any woman who brewed and sold ale dating back to the beginning of recorded history.
