- W33112487 abstract "The Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was active in Tasmania from 1885 till1914 and beyond. Members included women from all walks of life but generally later middleaged, middle class, Protestant women who believed in alcoholic temperance. The WCTUwas an international organisation founded on the belief that alcohol abuse was the cause ofmajor defects and evils in society; it was the ultimate goal of the WCTU to establishprohibition in every country of the globe. The Tasmanian WCTU worked to establishprohibition or local option, which would have allowed partial prohibition, without greatsuccess. Members involved themselves in many areas of work including outreach to thecommunity, the rights of women and the welfare of children. To have greater success theyrealised that they needed political strength; to gain this they needed the vote. The WCTU wasthe first organisation to begin a fight for womanhood suffrage in Tasmania Members foughtfor eleven years before they were finally granted this privilege.The WCTU was important for Tasmanian women. It was the first female organisation thattold women to transcend the private sphere of home and family and move into the publicsphere, to take up issues and be involved in the legislation and laws that affected them. Theimpact that the WCTU had on Tasmanian society is difficult to judge, because its work inmany respects was of a kind that is not measurable, for example in attempting to rehabilitatedrunks. The media in Tasmania wrote about WCTU conventions and meetings but itsactivity did not provoke the kind· of public debate that other women or organisations created.The WCTU members were sometimes misunderstood but generally ignored as they wentabout their work.The work of WCTU members in Tasmania was important and groundbreaking in manyrespects. They worked in areas that were not of interest to men and in areas that weretraditionally not the place of respectable women. Due to the WCTU in Tasmania the welfareand rights of prostitutes and neglected children were helped, anti-juvenile smoking laws werecreated and temperance principles were taught. The WCTU had an impact in areas ofTasmanian society that were of little interest to other groups or even the government in someinstances and this thesis analyses that impact." @default.
