Best Answer

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.
