The Legacy of Women and Prohibition | Episode 87
Portrait of Louisa May Alcott
Did you know that, for a long time, women have been viewed as the over-zealous architects of the failed Prohibition movement? Associated primarily with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, anti-Prohibition politicians and historians long put the onus of Prohibition on pissed-off women looking for any way to control men they could find. The realities are far more complicated - and today we're talking about the who, the why, and the how! From temperance activist Carrie A. Nation to the Assistant Attorney General, Mabel Walker Willebrandt, and socialite and anti-Prohibition activist, Pauline Sabin, we're deep-diving into the Prohibition movement and all its good witches and bad bitches!
INTRO - 41:30: Hannah tells the stories of the women who shaped the prohibition movement of 1920’s America.
