WILLARD, Frances (1839-98). In 1874 a temperance crusade swept the United States. A young lecturer and educator, Frances Willard, joined the movement and soon became famous for her work, particularly in building the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Frances Elizabeth Caroline Willard was born in Churchville, N.Y., on Sept. 28, 1839. When she was 17 she went to the Milwaukee Female College. At 18 she entered the Northwestern Female College in Evanston, Ill. Two years later she was graduated, valedictorian of her class. After teaching in various schools she was president from 1871 to 1873 of the new Evanston College for Ladies, which was soon absorbed by Northwestern University. In 1874 many women were protesting vigorously against the use of liquor. Willard joined them as they sang and prayed in saloons and on the streets to further the cause of temperance. She became president of the Chicago chapter of the WCTU, and in 1879 she was elected president of the national organization. She held this office for 20 years. In 1891 she became the first president of the worldwide WCTU. Willard stressed the religious appeal in her work for prohibition. She also worked for women's suffrage and safety codes for women in industry, but she considered these causes of secondary importance. When she died on Feb. 18, 1898, she was a national figure. In 1905 the state of Illinois honored her memory with a statue in Statuary Hall in Washington, D.C. (See also Temperance Movement.)
