Unions in Canada" by Mrs. Addie Chisholm is a historical account written in the late 19th century that delves into the temperance movement in Canada, especially the pivotal role women played within the Women's Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.). The book focuses on the struggles of women against the liquor traffic, highlighting their collective pain and suffering faced due to the effects of alcohol on families and society at large. It seeks to empower women by offering practical guidance on how to organize and participate in temperance activities, advocating for societal change through unified effort. In the opening portion of the book, the author introduces the profound emotional distress that alcohol brings to women's lives, illustrating their suffering through poignant examples of families and communities affected by liquor. Chisholm outlines the historical backdrop of women's oppression and the awakening of their sense of purpose and action in the temperance cause. The narrative emphasizes a spiritual call for women to rise and challenge the status quo, leading to past movements such as the Woman's Crusade, where women actively fought against the liquor business. The tone is both reflective and motivational, encouraging women to recognize their capacity for influence and collective action in combating the evils of intemperance.
