@paulralph I agree, contacting the publisher is probably the best course of action in this situation. @alexwild If you choose to do so, give us an update so we can see how they responded.
@Teela An excellent change!

For thousands of years, fermenting beer was considered a household task for #women.

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.

Sound familiar? It should.

You see, when male brewers felt threatened, they accused the women of witchcraft. These rumors may have led to some witch iconography we still recognize today.

Today, beer is marketed to men and the industry is run by men. It wasn’t always that way.
