wild how i was taught for years that female prohibitionists were solely religiously motivated when they were actually also fighting domestic violence and familial instability. they were desperate and have been done so dirty by revisionist history
if i was trapped by sexism that made me wholly dependent on an undivorceable, abusive, alcoholic husband, and if i saw the same of other women, shit i'd be smashing saloons with a hatchet, too
not to mention that i wasn't really taught the extent to which these women were also suffragettes and labor union advocates and social activists like hello??? what a crime it is how women are historically portrayed as one dimensional beings
