Leader of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union who built it into a strong national force?
Frances Willard was a leader of the WCTU and helped to build it into a strong national force.
What were the main reform movements in which many women participated?
Is this about US History? If so, good examples from the 19th century include the Abolitionist movement, aimed at abolishing slavery. Another is the temperance movement, with strong leadership from the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and another is the women's suffrage movement seeking voting rights for women. In the 20th century, the Civil Rights Movement, the feminist movement and the anti-abortion movement are good examples (the latter two frequently opposed each other).
What did the American temperance union demand?
The Temperance Movement happened because some people in society viewed the way others were living their lives to be contrary to what they believed was right. It wasn't necessarily unjustified; most temperance dealt with the very social issue of alcoholism and the need to have moderation. When the Temperance Movement began dictating how others should live their lives and judging those who did not, a false sense of moral superiority came over the Movement. This led to laws being enacted that dictated moral behavior, or what they defined as moral behavior. While the Temperance Movement is no longer considered active, in many ways the same sense of moral superiority still exists today and a great many people believe that their opinions and views should be legislated and therefore forced on those who disagree with them.
