The WCTU was an influential organization with a membership of 120,000 by 1879. Frances Willard led the group under the motto "Do Everything" to protect women and children. Some of the changes the WCTU sought included property and custody rights for women, women's suffrage, raising the age of consensual sex, peace arbitration, women's education, and advocacy for working rights of women. Because of the correlation between drinking and domestic violence—many drunken husbands abused family members—the temperance movement existed alongside various women's rights and other movements, including the Progressive movement, and often the same activists were involved in all of the above. Many notable voices of the time, ranging from Lucy Webb Hayes to Susan B. Anthony, were active in the movement. In Canada, Nellie McClung was a longstanding advocate of temperance. As with most social movements, there was a gamut of activists running from violent (Carrie Nation) to mild (Neal S. Dow). PREFACE "This new temperance volume, by Mr. Arthur, comesin just at the right time, when the subject of restrictivelaws is agitating the whole country, and good and truemen everywhere are gathering up their strength for aprolonged and unflinching contest. It will prove apowerful auxiliary in the cause. "Ten Nights in a Bar-Room" gives a series of sharplydrawn sketches of scenes, some of them touching in theextreme, and some dark and terrible. Step by step theauthor traces the downward course of the temptingvender and his infatuated victims, until both are involvedin hopeless ruin. The book is marred by no exaggera-tions, but exhibits the actualities of bar-room life, andthe consequences flowing therefrom, with a severe sim-plicity, and adherence to truth, that gives to everypicture a Daguerrean vividness."
