A year after World War 1 had come to an end; women wanting rights were becoming a big movement. The Temperance Movement (the effort to enforce abstinence upon the moderation of the consumption of intoxicating liquors), was also finding its way into act after World War 1. Both of these were major movements. Women used the Temperance Movements to gain a voice in the country. This began the Prohibition Era in the United States of America. After the contribution of women in World War 1, women felt they should have the right to have a voice in their country. Since women had few legal rights, they wanted to build off of being too reliant with their husbands, which lead to the Women’s Rights Movement. Not being able to be self-reliant and not being able to rely on overly intoxicated husbands; Women joined the Temperance Movements to bring a halt against drunken abusive husbands. The Temperance Movement didn’t only grasp the attention of women, but many other groups across the country. From the Anti-Saloon League to the Temperance league and even women groups like the Women’s Christian Temperance Union. Some contributors like the Anti-Saloon League that were well organized had branches across the United States. Branches that worked in churches to marshal resources for the prohibition fight. These groups also forced the closing of many saloons. In conclusion, this was only the beginning of the Prohibition Era in America. Although purifying some states/cities the groups now face greater problems. Since the Temperance Movements began to work successfully, an outburst of crime and corruption with underground operations began to spoil the work of the movements.
