A candid, documentary look at how a major women’s reform movement confronted politics.

This book examines the debate between staying non-partisan and engaging with parties, and what that meant for activists and their goals.

Through editorials, letters, and district and national records, the text traces the rise of partisan tension within the W. C. T. U., including memorials, resolutions, and personal reflections. It combines historical context with pointed arguments about representation, individual rights, and the limits of organized influence in public life.

Explore the clash between non-partisan ideals and party politics within a leading temperance union.
See how district and state actions shaped national strategy and delegate selections.
Read first-hand concerns and responses from key figures, including personal admissions and critiques.
Understand the broader questions about political liberty, protest, and reform in the late 19th century.

Ideal for readers of historical accounts of social reform, women’s movements, and the politics of reform in America.
