From the rear cover

Using an extensive array of primary sources, including local Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) minute books and correspondence, Sharon Cook describes the origins, structures, strategies, and achievements of the Ontario WCTU in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
