The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was initially established in August 1874 at Lake Chautauqua, New York, following a brief season of successful moral suasion by national women against the sale and use of alcohol. A formal national convention took place in Ohio on November 18, 1874, where goals were solidified and officers elected. These goals,[i] which were founded upon the desire to protect the home, were to promote total abstinence, temperance education in Sunday School and public schools, distribution of literature, continued mass suasion and temperance columns in newspapers along with press coverage of meetings.
Although organized temperance unions outside the church structure existed in the United States as early as 1808, the WCTU was the first organization which was exclusively female. Other societies had women members or female auxiliaries, but they did not allow women to hold office or speak to a mixed audience. Occasionally men were invited as guest speakers or to officiate in prayer for the WCTU, but only women held office. The first officers elected at the National Convention in 1874 were Annie Wittenmayer, president, Frances Willard, corresponding secretary, Mary Johnson, recording secretary, and Mary Ingham, treasurer.
Alcohol had a strong presence in post-Civil War America. Production of liquor had increased from the antebellum period and therefore, was more readily available and cheap. It was thought to give energy for hard work and was freely used for all types of medicinal purposes. Liquor interests influenced politics and saloons became a social gathering place for men. Women did not have a voice in politics and many saw their loved one’s wages squandered on alcohol. The WCTU gave them the vehicle they needed to act against these evils. Its fight against the retail liquor industry is well known, but they also enacted prison reform, which included facilities for women, started the Kindergarten movement, established social rooms for the poor and fought for the eight hour work day.[ii]
The WCTU of Chester County, which was established May 29, 1884, in West Chester, was initially compromised of the West Chester, Phoenixville, Coatesville, Parkesburg, Downingtown, and Oxford Unions. Chester County is in close proximity to Philadelphia, approximately thirty miles, and it was there in the spring of 1874, that nearly 25,000 women “accomplished more for temperance than any other eastern city.”[iii] Perhaps this inspired the women of Chester County to initiate reform in their own region. In any case, Chester County had a well established population which was already active in their churches and community. They were also starting to enjoy some prosperity in their businesses and ease in their lives. The women, who had been exposed to leadership opportunities in organizations such as church missionary societies, were ready to adopt the WCTU as a means to improve their communities and, inadvertently, became part of the largest woman’s group at that time.
Organization
“The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union is divided into six main departments, which in turn are subdivided as follows: I—Organization, which includes work among foreigners and miners and work among colored people; II—Prevention, which deals with heredity and with medical temperance; III—Educational, the largest and most important department, deals with scientific temperance instruction in schools and colleges, summer assemblies, temperance work in Sunday schools, temperance literature, presenting the cause to influential bodies, education through the press, anti-narcotics, W. C. T. U. institutes, school savings banks, medal contests, Union Signal, and Young Crusader; IV—Evangelistic, which covers prison work, cooperation with missionary societies, systematic giving, rescue work, juvenile court work, work among railroad employers, sailors and soldiers, Sabbath observance, mercy, and purity in art and literature; V—Social, which includes the flower missions, fairs, open air and social meetings;[sic] VI—Legal, a very important department, carrying on active propaganda work along the lines of legislation, equal suffrage, peace, petition work in favor of various laws, and measures and Christian citizenship.”[iv]
