☆ Glamour, Travel, Sexism: When Flight Attendants Fought Back
  + stars: | 2024-02-19 | by ( Liza Weisstuch | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In 1958, when Mary Pat Laffey Inman became a stewardess — as they were then called — for Northwest Airlines, she was 20 years old and the clock was already ticking. That is, if she didn’t marry, get pregnant or even gain too much weight before that: All were grounds for termination. Six years later, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act, outlawing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and female flight attendants began to join forces against sexism. It also set the precedent for nondiscriminatory hiring of flight attendants across the industry. But even then, not everything changed: Flight attendants on some airlines were still subjected to “weigh-ins” into the 1990s.

And that tiny icebox — three inches tall and covered in reproductions of stickers by local graffiti crews — turned his life around. “I loved that when I worked on a piece, I didn’t think about my problems — my divorce, the pandemic,” said Mr. Cortes. I didn’t have a problem in the world.

There are now enough devotees that it’s spurred a whole lifestyle and a slew of hashtags to go with it. A trade group, the Adult Non-Alcoholic Beverage Association, was founded in 2021 and currently has 110 members. According to IWSR, a firm that provides analysis of the drinks market, global retail sales of no- and low-alcohol products are valued at over $11 billion, up from $8 billion in 2018. As the category continues to expand, nonalcoholic products are driving the increase, and are expected to make up 90 percent of the growth of that subset.
