Why and How: a hand-book for the use of the W.C.T. unions in Canada

About this book

In the late 19th century, as social reform swept through Canada, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.) emerged as a formidable force advocating for temperance and women's rights. "Why and How: A Hand-book for the Use of the W.C.T. Unions in Canada" by Mrs. Addie Chisholm serves as an essential guide, detailing strategies for mobilizing communities and emphasizing the importance of collective action against alcohol consumption. With a focus on grassroots organizing and the empowerment of women, this handbook highlights the unique contributions of the W.C.T.U. to the broader temperance movement. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this document offers a crucial understanding of the intersection between social justice and advocacy in Canadian history.
