Why and How : a hand-book for the use of the W.C.T. unions in Canada

In “Why and How: A Hand-Book for the Use of the W.C.T. Unions in Canada,” Addie Chisholm provides a comprehensive guide aimed at empowering Women's Christian Temperance Union members across Canada. The text is meticulously organized, combining practical strategies with theological and social justifications for temperance, reflecting the progressive ethos of the late 19th century. Chisholm's literary style is both informative and persuasive, utilizing engaging narratives and poignant arguments that resonate with the reader'Äôs sense of moral duty, situating the book within a crucial moment in the temperance movement's history. Addie Chisholm was an active member of the temperance movement and her writings stem from a deeply held belief in social reform. Contextualized by her involvement in various W.C.T. initiatives, Chisholm's firsthand experiences fuel her passion for the cause. Her insights, drawn from her work with women across Canada, illustrate the socio-political challenges they faced, motivating her to create a resource that not only informs but inspires collective action. I highly recommend this essential handbook to anyone interested in the history of social movements, women's rights, or Canadian history. Chisholm'Äôs blend of practical advice and fervent advocacy will not only enrich your understanding of the W.C.T. unions but also urge you to reflect on the broader implications of collective action in creating societal change.
