Abstract

By the time she addressed the Second Biennial Convention of the World’s Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1893, Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard was one of the most famous social reformers in the United States. Raised in Wisconsin, Willard completed her schooling at North Western Female College in Evanston, Illinois, and then taught science at several institutions. In 1871 she served as president of the newly established Evanston College for Ladies, which merged with Northwestern University in 1872.
