Carry Nation

Radical temperance movement leader (1846 – 1911)
​
  • Became an activist after her first husband died of alcoholism after a year of marriage
  • Cofounder of her local Texas branch of the Women’s Temperance Movement
  • Believed she was divinely ordained to destroy saloons and used a hatchet to smash bottles and kegs in saloons in what she called “hatchetations”
  • Exerted force in response to the lack of agency and support women had in their marriages, where they were stuck in marriages with drunken husbands
  • When Nation was imprisoned for her hatchetations, she raised bail money through speaking engagements and selling souvenir hatchets
