Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories of the Crusade: A Thrilling Account of the Great Uprising of the Women of Ohio in 1873, Against the Liquor Crime In presenting this book to the public, the publishers desire to say: - 1st. As to its merit: It is thrillingly interesting in its matter, and deeply instructive in its lessons. Its style is easy and natural - good English, enriched by vigorous Anglo-Saxon. It contains some imperfections - the perfect book has not yet been published. But the manner and matter of this book are such as to make it worthy of a place in every public or private library. 2nd. As to the subject "The Crusade:" There has perhaps not occurred during the present century, if during any century since the first of the Christian era, any movement that has been more wonderful in its phenomena and its operations, and extensive in its general results, than the "Woman´s Temperance Crusade." It was the cradle of new views of Home and its relations to Government, and a thousand statutes have been modified, or repealed, or made new, as the result of the influences started in the Crusade. Millions of people have changed their views on the position of woman. The Woman´s Christian Temperance Union has been organized, with 200,000 members and more than thirty departments of work for women. Hundreds of avenues for the employment of women have been opened, largely as the result of discussions which grew out of the Crusade. So that in stores and business establishments alone, we presume there are a million places occupied by women and girls now that were occupied by men before the Crusade. We can only hint at the results of the Crusade in this statement. To write a complete history of such a warfare in all its ramifications cannot be done. Many have attempted to "write up the Crusade."
