Questions I still have about the Temperance Movement
I must say, I have learned a lot so far about the Temperance Movement and the main group that comprised the movement (the WCTU), as well a key individual within the movement (Frances Willard). I still feel like there is so much more to learn and know about the movement, such as the other key individuals, or different organizations that took part in the movement. But I guess the main thing that I feel like I am still missing is how the movement applies to the overall topic of women. Clearly it applies to women because women were at the forefront of the movement, but there should be something more like, How did the Temperance Movement influence society in how it views the role of women? How is it related to other movements of the time? What did other people think of the movement? How were women perceived differently because of this movement? Oh, so much left unanswered...
