The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) lobbied local governments to enact regulations that would forbid the production and distribution of alcoholic beverages.
The WCTU helped legitimize the movement by putting less emphasis on the more radical notion of gender equality and more emphasis on ensuring women's participation in politics as the guardians of the home.
The WCTU advocated for the legislative ban of all alcoholic drinks because they believed that alcohol addiction was the root of immorality, sickness, sex work, misery, violence towards women & children, and unemployment.
