WCTU—Women’s Christian Temperance Union-- founded in 1874, was a large grassroots organization that supported social reform. The groups main goal was to counter the effects of alcohol on the family, home, and society as a whole. They helped propel the suffrage movement by organizing leaders and informing women about politics. They also addressed other social issues such as labor, health, and prostitution.
