Book Synopsis
Few people are aware of how American Indian women joined forces with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to press for positive change in their communities, a critical chapter of American cultural history explored in depth for the first time in In League Against King Alcohol.

Trade Review
Drawing on extensive research, including the use of Woman's Christian Temperance Union state archival sources from across the country, Thomas J. Lappas traces the history of the organization's Department of Work Among Indians. Using Indigenous women's own words, he explores why they became members and describes their efforts to confront alcoholism. This volume is a welcomed addition to both Native American studies and gender studies."" - Valerie Sherer Mathes, author of Divinely Guided: The California Work of the Women's National Indian Association
