Jack S. Blocker Jr. traces the Women's Temperance Crusade of 1873-74 from its origins in public lectures by health reformer Dio Lewis through its rapid spread across the nation, to its culmination in the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The non-violent tactics of the Crusaders are described, and their progression from meetings to marches and occasional political campaigning is explored, along with the responses, ranging from active support to violent opposition, that the Crusade evoked. An analysis of causation critically examines previous explanations for the Crusade's timing, location, and composition before concluding that a concurrent rise in alcohol consumption and a decline in liquor-law enforcement produced the movement. A discussion of relations between suffragists and Crusaders helps to clarify the place of the Crusade among nineteenth-century reform movements. The ways in which the movement ended reveal the Crusaders' determination to achieve their goals and the nature of their opposition. Finally, Blocker explores the effects of the Crusade upon male politics and drinking and upon women's organizing as an independent force for reform.

Frances Willard founded the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1884 to carry the message of women's emancipation throughout the world. Based in the United States, the WCTU rapidly became an international organization, with affiliates in forty-two countries. Ian Tyrrell tells the extraordinary story of how a handful of women sought to change the mores of the world -- not only by abolishing alcohol but also by promoting peace and attacking prostitution, poverty, and male control of democratic political structures. In describing the work of Mary Leavitt, Jessie Ackermann, and other temperance crusaders on the international scene, Tyrrell identifies the tensions generated by conflict between the WCTU's universalist agenda and its own version of an ideologically and religiously based form of cultural imperialism. The union embraced an international and occasionally ecumenical vision that included a critique of Western materialism and imperialism. But, at the same time, its mission inevitably promoted Anglo-American cultural practices and Protestant evangelical beliefs deemed morally superior by the WCTU. Tyrrell also considers, from a comparative perspective, the peculiar links between feminism, social reform, and evangelical religion in Anglo-American culture that made it so difficult for the WCTU to export its vision of a woman-centered mission to other cultures. Even in other Western states, forging links between feminism and religiously based temperance reform was made virtually impossible by religious, class, and cultural barriers. Thus, the WCTU ultimately failed in its efforts to achieve a sober and pure world, although its members significantly shaped the values of those countries in which it excercised strong influence. As and urgently needed history of the first largescale worldwide women's organization and non-denominational evangelical institution, Woman's World / Woman's Empire will be a valuable resource to scholars in the fields of women's studies, religion, history, and alcohol and temperance studies.

Excerpt from The Crusaders: A Story of the Women's Temperance Movement of 1873-74 Already many who could have given testimony in regard to it have passed from earth; and the gray hair and failing strength Of many others are silent monitors Of the voiceless grave. A nation that prays to God, day after day, to spare the life of its wounded chief magistrate, must believe in an overruling Providence; and a people that so believes must be willing, at least, to take into consideration such religious experiences as may serve to illustrate a call that conforms to Bible teachings. A Christian people can not afford to misinterpret, or to partially understand, or to let fall into forgetfulness, any manifestation of Divine Power.

Excerpt: ...meeting one of our number afterwards informed her that through our efforts, on board the Buel that day, he had ceased the use of intoxicants; and yet we must record the bitter with the sweet and say that the whiskey fraternity gave the United States Mail Company warning that if that performance was repeated, they would ship no more produce with them. And now, after all these long weary months of suffering and waiting, we have nothing to recall. Led by Jehovah's hand we did what we could, and we leave the results to him. Though the good done seemed comparatively slight, yet we worked on, and to-day we recognize the recent reform movement in Madison, as the child of the Crusade, and as God's answer to our prayers. We believe that by some agency God will answer our prayers and that Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin, is written over every bar-room in the United States as plainly as when the finger of God placed it over Belshazzar's feast. We desire to say that we have been warmly seconded by most of the ministers in the city--W. W. Snyder, J. F. Hutchinson, B. F. Cavin, I. H. Hardin, Henry Keigwise and J. H. Barth. And we would especially mention the Rev. Dr. Little and Rev. David Stiver, who have firmly stood by us through all opposition and given their wives their warmest approval.
