Question 7 • MO-US History II A

What helped women assume leadership roles in the temperance movement?

Answer
A
Women were more effective in pressuring elected representatives, so the men in the movement supported their leadership.
B
Men refused to join the temperance movement, so women were forced to take on an active leadership role.
C
Society approved of women’s involvement in the temperance movement because drunkenness affected family welfare.

Explanation

Temperance was seen as closely connected to family welfare because alcohol abuse could harm a household and its children. Since caring for the family was considered an appropriate concern for women, society was more accepting of women’s involvement in the movement, helping them take leadership roles. Choice C states this reason.
