Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the crucial two decades during which the Women's Christian Temperance Union of New York State was formed and rooted deep in the hearts and minds of its women. Beginning with the uprising of the movement in 1873, the author gives a detailed account of the establishment and impactful work done by the organization. Many of the women who were the backbone of this movement are profiled here. The themes of the book include the political influence of the group, which fought to have prohibition enshrined in New York State law and went so far as to campaign for women's suffrage to effect change. The book also explores the methods used by the organization to spread the message of temperance, including public outreach, youth clubs and educational campaigns in the public school system. Though nearly a century and a half old, this book remains a relevant and inspiring read for anyone interested in social movements, women's history, or political activism.
