Women's Christian Temperance Union  

Definición

  • Founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1874, the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) is the oldest large-scale, continuing nondenominational evangelical women's organization in the United States and worldwide. Initially established to combat the sale and consumption of alcohol and warn the public about the dangers of drinking, the WCTU emerged directly from the Women's Crusade of 1873 to 1874, when women gathered in large numbers across the Midwest to pray, sing hymns, and publicly condemn saloons.
