Women and the Temperance Movement

In the late 1800s, both First-wave feminism and the women-lead Temperance Movement were gaining steam in North America. But why did so many more women join the temperance movement than the suffrage cause? Eva tells Emma about the different strategies both movements used to recruit members, focusing in on the ways christian morality and fears over family safety helped (white, Protestant) women conceive of themselves as political participants.
