When the 2015 United States Brewers Cup champion Sarah Andersen was announced as the winner, Tom Jones' "She's A Lady," started playing. It was a strange and confusing moment in the competition - because no weirdly gendered anthem played for any of the other competitors. 

Sabine Parrish decided to study this phenomenon - why are women treated differently at coffee competitions. In her essay, cheekingly called, "She's A Lady," she explores how women are marginalized in the coffee industry. She did this by collecting hundreds of stories. Women across the nation submitted their personal experiences with sexism behind the bar, and Sabine used that to publish one of the most important pieces of research the coffee industry has ever seen. We talk to Sabine about her findings and what she hopes to see in the future.
