Abstract:
Only two republics have ever adopted national alcohol prohibition in peacetime, and they did so at almost exactly the same time. For these reasons and others, historians of temperance have considered prohibition in Finland and the United States to be essentially similar. In fact, despite originating at the same time, the two are quite dissimilar. American prohibition came out of Protestant revivalism and a capitalist desire for worker efficiency. By the late nineteenth century two powerful temperance organizations, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union and the Anti- Saloon League, had emerged

Abstract:
AbstractThis article considers the link between industrialization and social movement strategy. In the late nineteenth century, temperance organizations, rebuffed by Congress, won prohibition at the state level, especially in the American South and West. Simultaneously, lawmakers in the Reconstruction South and West built railroads to Midwestern rail hubs, which housed breweries and distilleries that shipped liquor by rail back into dry states. The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union and Anti-Saloon League lobbied dry state congressmen to ban this interstate liquor traffic through the 1890 Wils

Abstract:
The South African women’s movement had its origins in the Cape, but it also had a strong transnational relationship with countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States. The earliest formally created women’s organisation in the country, the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), established in 1889, focused on forging a pure society that was liberated from the so-called constraints and perils of liquor. By 1892, the WCTU had formed a franchise department in response to the absence of female enfranchisement in the Cape, therefore promoting women’s national and international suffr

Abstract:
This essay assesses the legacy of urban ethnography's (UE) early engagement with the “saloon problem.” Early sociologists (1880–1915) intervened in the national debate on alcohol on the basis of their long–term, in–depth understanding of the urban poor. Ethnographers highlighted the role of the saloon as a haven for maintaining social ties while socializing immigrants to American norms. Instead of prohibition or temperance, sociologists advocated replacing the saloon's positive functions with more democratic institutions, especially an egalitarian domestic sphere.

Abstract:
Abstract Several years before the war, proponents of temperance and abstinence had begun a national campaign to restrict alcohol consumption. Challenged by an expanding liquor industry and the multiplication of saloons, alarmed by the havoc that drunkenness wreaked on family and society and on individual health and morals, they had formed an Anti-Saloon League and a Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Prohibitionists developed informal alliances with suffragists and Protestant churches, fielded an army of speakers, created elaborate political machines, and won numerous victories in towns and c

Chapter 7 follows Mahatma Gandhi’s embrace of prohibitionism as resistance against Britain’s “narco-military empire,” first in South Africa and then in India. Gandhi understood that the British system of imperial dominance was built upon trafficking addictive opium and alcohol, the revenues from which paid for military occupation. Nationalists Gandhi and C. Rajagopalachari adopted temperance tactics such as picketing liquor stores as part of their noncooperation activism.

Abstract:
‘The dry crusade’ describes the increasing number of anti-liquor reformers who wanted state and national prohibition. Key groups were the Women’s Crusade and Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of Ohio and the Anti-Saloon League. Middle-class women dried up dozens of small towns, but when anti-liquor reformers in larger towns led similar movements, they met defiance and resistance. The rise of local option in the 1880s and 1890s meant smaller communities could support a ban even if votes were lacking to prohibit alcohol statewide.

Beset by numerous controversies, she distanced herself from Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s Woman’s Bible. She also wrestled with the question of whether the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) should join forces with the Anti-Saloon League in the national campaign for prohibition.

Abstract:
Abstract In the fall of 1873, the women of Hillsborough, Ohio, decided it was time to take action against the abuse of alcohol in their community. After a temperance meeting in a local church, they marched in a group to one of the town’s thirteen saloons. They entered the saloon, knelt on the floor, and began to pray and sing hymns. When the owner asked them to leave, they refused to do so as long as he continued to sell liquor. Few male patrons wanted to drink in the presence of so many praying women. Eventually the tavern keeper agreed to end liquor sales. Strengthened by their success, the
