From the earliest times, rural life was never kind to women. They were invisible, never spoken of. And yet, there they were, carrying out social and agricultural tasks. Legislation began to evolve in the 1960s, and continues to do so today, in the 21^st century.

Throughout this evolution, women have made up their minds to take their destiny into their own hands. Both young and not as young, the women of cognac are a shining example of this. Today, women can be found in all cognac-related activities : farm managers, company directors, winegrowers, distillers, cellar masters, wine and brandy brokers, and coopers. Most of them have traveled the world. Some have earned multiple university degrees ; they have all returned to the Charentes wine-growing region.

They tell the story of their careers.

Beacons of a region's economic life, ambassadors of charm, despite their differences, they are all one and the same. They are the women of today and the promise for tomorrow !
