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. The organization quickly expanded internationally, advocating not only for the prohibition of alcohol but also for broader social reforms, including peace initiatives and challenges to poverty, prostitution, and male dominance in politics. Ian Tyrrell chronicles the remarkable efforts of these women to reshape societal norms and empower women across the world.
