Ladies Don't: A Historical Perspective on Attitudes Toward Alcoholic Women

Stigmatic and sex-biased attitudes toward contemporary alcoholic women can be traced back to the 1800s. Reinforced by Western culture, these attitudes are oppressive in that they exacerbate women's shame, diminish their self-esteem, and undermine their recovery. This article discusses the trends and historical events that have shaped societal attitudes toward alcoholic women and the effects of social workers' attitudes on policy formulation and professional behavior toward clients who are alcoholic women.
