Can you imagine a time when people consumed 3 times the amount of alcohol that Americans consume today? What about imagining a women busting up bars, and smashing every bottle of liquor she could get her hands on? Join us as we discuss a movement that began brewing in the 19th century. Before there was Suffrage, there was Temperance. Temperance is the practice of restraining ones desires, which was not applied to the use of alcohol. Learn how alcohol evolved over time, how its role in society shifted, and why women felt fiercely passionate about limiting alcohol consumption.
