Excerpt from The World's Temperance Congress of 1900: Journal of the Proceedings The practical purpose of the present volume is so self-evident that a prefatory note would be unnecessary if the claims of justice did not demand a grateful acknowledgement in the most emphatic terms of the invaluable services rendered by those ladies and gentlemen who kindly complied with the Editor's request for papers. We trust that the great appreciation already accorded them by the members of the Congress may be speedily followed by a wider recognition of their value, since we do not remember in our long experience of Temperance work a series of papers more worthy of the general public confidence. In commencing the important work of the New Century, temperance men and women have no reason to hesitate as to the soundness of the principles that have hitherto guided them in the conduct of their beneficent enterprise, their efficiency having been established beyond the possibility of dispute by all intelligent people who have given their minds to the candid consideration of the question. Surely the great work now remaining is to enlighten and influence by every possible means those who are still indifferent to the claims of the movement. If the correspondence that has reached us from various quarters may be implicitly relied on, the Congress has imparted new life to many who had grown weary in well doing, but from whom good work may be expected in the future; our greatest hope, however, comes from those young men who may have derived inspiration from the variety of progress attained during the marvellous century now nearly closed, and who feel the responsibility of endeavouring to win for the new century laurels of moral progress surpassing any yet gained in the history of the world. The spirited "Call to Arms" sent to the Congress by the Belgian Temperance Association of Students, is one that should on no account be overlooked; what might not be expected if the collegians of the world should earnestly unite with other young men and women in opposing the great enemy of their best and purest life? Another important point needing impressive enforcement upon many classes of the people is the acknowledged fact that the Temperance movement is inextricably bound up with almost every form of industrial, social and religious progress. The "drink curse" is not only an evil of the first magnitude in itself, but is the prolific source of many others upon which much expensive labour is constantly expended - labour which might to a large extent be prevented if all our practical philanthropists were to become active abstainers. Since Temperance reform is the friend and ally of every other elevating movement and is antagonistic to none, it has been to us a cause of surprise and wonder that with their experience of social work, so many good people have found it possible to refrain from joining our ranks. Let a special effort be made during the coming years to enlist as many as possible of those who are still apathetic in regard to this world-wide crusade against "the enemy of the race."

When most people think of the prohibition era, they think of speakeasies, gin runners, and backwoods fundamentalists railing about the ills of strong drink. In other words, in the popular imagination, it is a peculiarly American event.Yet, as Mark Lawrence Schrad shows in Smashing the Liquor Machine, the conventional scholarship on prohibition is extremely misleading for a simple reason: American prohibition was just one piece of a global wave of prohibition laws that occurred around the same time. Schrad's counterintuitiveglobal history of prohibition looks at the anti-alcohol movement around the globe through the experiences of pro-temperance leaders like Thomas Masaryk, founder of Czechoslovakia, Vladimir Lenin, Leo Tolstoy, and anti-colonial activists in India. Schrad argues that temperance wasn't "Americanexceptionalism" at all, but rather one of the most broad-based and successful transnational social movements of the modern era. In fact, Schrad offers a fundamental re-appraisal of this colorful era to reveal that temperance forces frequently aligned with progressivism, social justice, liberalself-determination, democratic socialism, labor rights, women's rights, and indigenous rights. By placing the temperance movement in a deep global context, he forces us to fundamentally rethink all that we think we know about the movement. Rather than a motley collection of puritanical Americanevangelicals, the global temperance movement advocated communal self-protection against the corrupt and predatory "liquor machine" that had become exceedingly rich off the misery and addictions of the poor around the world, from the slums of South Asia to central Europe to the Indian reservations ofthe American west.Unlike many traditional "dry" histories, Smashing the Liquor Machine gives voice to minority and subaltern figures who resisted the global liquor industry, and further highlights that the impulses that led to the temperance movement were far more progressive and variegated than American readers havebeen led to believe.

Frances Willard founded the Woman's Christian Temperance Union in 1884 to carry the message of women's emancipation throughout the world. Based in the United States, the WCTU rapidly became an international organization, with affiliates in forty-two countries. Ian Tyrrell tells the extraordinary story of how a handful of women sought to change the mores of the world -- not only by abolishing alcohol but also by promoting peace and attacking prostitution, poverty, and male control of democratic political structures. In describing the work of Mary Leavitt, Jessie Ackermann, and other temperance crusaders on the international scene, Tyrrell identifies the tensions generated by conflict between the WCTU's universalist agenda and its own version of an ideologically and religiously based form of cultural imperialism. The union embraced an international and occasionally ecumenical vision that included a critique of Western materialism and imperialism. But, at the same time, its mission inevitably promoted Anglo-American cultural practices and Protestant evangelical beliefs deemed morally superior by the WCTU. Tyrrell also considers, from a comparative perspective, the peculiar links between feminism, social reform, and evangelical religion in Anglo-American culture that made it so difficult for the WCTU to export its vision of a woman-centered mission to other cultures. Even in other Western states, forging links between feminism and religiously based temperance reform was made virtually impossible by religious, class, and cultural barriers. Thus, the WCTU ultimately failed in its efforts to achieve a sober and pure world, although its members significantly shaped the values of those countries in which it excercised strong influence. As and urgently needed history of the first largescale worldwide women's organization and non-denominational evangelical institution, Woman's World / Woman's Empire will be a valuable resource to scholars in the fields of women's studies, religion, history, and alcohol and temperance studies.
