A powerful dissection of a core American myth.

The narrative highlights Frances Willard's pivotal role in establishing the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1884, which aimed to champion women's rights globally.

Ian Tyrrell chronicles the remarkable efforts of these women to reshape societal norms and empower women across the world.
