that's definitely part of it, and played a role in women's suffrage

The only hope of the Anti-Saloon League's success lies in putting the ballot into the hands of women. --Susan B. Anthony

and this is an opportune moment to highlight one of my favorite temperance movement members: hatchet granny

for years she tried to dissuade people from drinking or providing alcohol, but since that didn't work she eventually resorted to just attacking bars and taverns with a hatchet and destroying their alcohol supplies

Nation died on June 9, 1911. She is buried in the southeastern side of Belton Cemetery in Belton, Missouri. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union later erected a stone inscribed "Faithful to the Cause of Prohibition, She Hath Done What She Could" and the name "Carry A. Nation".
