How did women groups support prohibition?

Women’s groups, particularly organizations like the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and the National Woman's Party, played a crucial role in supporting prohibition by linking alcohol consumption to social issues such as domestic violence, poverty, and the deterioration of family life. They argued that banning alcohol would lead to healthier households and communities. Additionally, women saw prohibition as a means of gaining political influence and advancing their broader social reform agendas, including suffrage and labor rights. Their activism helped galvanize public opinion and political support for the 18th Amendment.
