Abstract:

The Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was organized in Greensboro, on November 27, 1883, by Frances E. Willard, the president of the National WCTU at that time. The organization's basic objectives were total abstinence for the individual and total abolition of the liquor trade. Rogers discusses the work of the organization and lists the state presidents from 1883 to 1945.
