Many women supported temperance because women saw how alcohol affected men. Some woman believed that alcohol brought out the devils in men, and in some cases it did. When men got intoxicated they would miss treat woman, and no one would do anything about it because they were only women. When women were fighting for rights the alcoholic industry fought aginst woman rights because they wanted to make alcohol illegal, thus destroying their businesses.

That is why the prohibition amendment was introduced, and why women heartily supported it.
