Many women in America were unhappy with their alcoholic husbands, who wasted the family money in saloons, and who became violent and abusive when drunk. These dissatisfied women formed a political organization, the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which eventually became influential enough that it was able to obtain a constitutional amendment which prohibited alcoholic beverages.
