[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses women’s alcohol consumption in the 19th century, especially during the time of the temperance movement. In 19th century Great Britain, alcoholism was widespread, due in part, to the harsh social conditions brought about by the rapid industrialization throughout the country. Many families were suffering as a result although such suffering was most often associated with a drunken husband and father rather than an alcoholic wife and mother. In the U.S., the first organized temperance movement began in the early 1800s in response to dramatic increases in production and consumption of alcoholic beverages, which also coincided with rapid demographic changes.
