	In Stained Glass: Frances Willard & the Temperance Movement
		Frances Willard benefited from the movement to establish schools for girls that was sweeping across the Midwest in the 1850's.
		Frances Willard would probably have remained an educator had it not been for an explosion that rocked the Midwest in 1873-4: the so-called "Woman's Crusade." In Hillsboro, Ohio, in December of 1873, a group of Protestant church women went to hear a temperance speaker.
		Willard was so angered by the refusal of her church to permit her to sit that she wrote Woman in the Pulpit, a plea for the ordination of women, based on scriptural and historical arguments.

	Frances Willard: America's Forgotten Feminist
		Willard's earliest interests had been in the women's suffrage movement, but she had declined to take a public stand since, in her own words, "she loved approbation and feared rejection." But on returning from Europe, Willard determined to speak out on the woman's movement--or on the "woman question" as it was then called.
		Willard did not believe that alcohol was intrinsically evil; she confessed to enjoying wine while traveling in Europe, but renounced it altogether when she became convinced that alcoholic excesses were destroying society.
		By the time Willard assumed the presidency of the WCTU, she was well known as a powerful advocate of women's suffrage--so much so that she was opposed in her election by those who felt she would turn the WCTU away from temperance and concentrate its considerable influence on women's rights.
