Publisher's Synopsis
""Women and Temperance: Or The Work and Workers of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union"" is a book written by Frances Elizabeth Willard and published in 1888. The book focuses on the history and accomplishments of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), a women's organization that advocated for temperance and prohibition of alcohol in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of the WCTU's founding and early years, as well as its growth and impact on American society. Willard also highlights the contributions of prominent women in the WCTU, including herself, and their efforts to promote temperance through education, lobbying, and social activism. In addition to discussing the WCTU's work, the book also explores the broader context of the temperance movement in America, including the political and social factors that led to the rise of the movement. Willard argues that the temperance movement was not just about alcohol, but also about women's rights and social reform, and that the WCTU was at the forefront of this movement.Overall, ""Women and Temperance"" is a comprehensive and engaging account of the role that women played in the temperance movement in America, and the impact that their work had on society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in women's history, social reform, and the history of the temperance movement.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
