"At the start of the modern age, the coffeehouses were places for renegotiating the social hierarchy and for challenging the social order". Throughout the existence of the coffeehouse, banning of women from the houses was quite prevalent. They were banned from visiting them in England however; they often frequented them in parts of Germany.
During the early modern period, coffeehouses became hubs for disrupting existing social structures and redefining power dynamics. Despite bans on women in many locations, including England, they found a welcoming presence in certain regions of Germany.
