Woman's Christian Temperance Union
An American woman's temperance organization formed as a result of the Woman's Temperance Crusade which began in December 1873 at Hillsboro, Ohio.
Older by 20 years than the Anti-Saloon League, the WCTU's leadership was female. The two organizations while separate shared a common goal - destroying the traffic in alcoholic beverages.
