º£½ÇÉçÇø

The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) was established in Cleveland, Ohio in 1874.  The purpose of the organization was to unite women in the fight against the sale of alcoholic beverages.  Frances Willard was elected WCTU President in 1879, and she directed the organization into a wide variety of activities, including Woman’s Suffrage.  By the Mid-1880’s the WCTU had over 200,000 members nationally.

The º£½ÇÉçÇø branch of the WCTU was established in 1878. In 1899, the º£½ÇÉçÇø WCTU named the Woman’s Chronicle, a Little Rock weekly, as its official organization.  Eventually the º£½ÇÉçÇø White Ribboner became the journal of the state WCTU.
