Title	White Ribbon Portfolio
Subject	Civil Liberties Ohio Women Ohio Woman's Christian Temperance Union Temperance
Place	Highland County (Ohio)
Description	The White Ribbon Portfolio contains portraits and biographical information about temperance leaders from the United States and Great Britain. Ohioans included in the Portfolio include "Mother" Eliza Jane Thompson of Hillsboro and "Mother" Eliza Daniel Stewart of Springfield. The White Ribbon Portfolio was published semi-monthly by the Woman's Temperance Publishing Association of Chicago. Parts 1 through 5 are included here. Each volume contains seventeen pages measuring 8.5 by 11 inches (21.59 by 27.94 cm). A series of speeches on the destructive power of alcohol Dr. Dio Lewis gave in December 1873 in Fredonia, New York and Hillsboro and Washington Court House, Ohio inspired the creation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Soon typically quiet women in those towns began protesting outside of saloons by praying and singing hymns in hopes of convincing saloonkeepers of the evil of their ways. Eventually, the crusade spread to all parts of the state. In some areas the women were successful in closing saloons, but they also faced mobs and arrest in others. In November 1874, the national WCTU was formed in Cleveland. While the WTCU was primarily interested in the temperance movement, they also embraced other causes including female suffrage, prison reform, and uniform marriage and divorce laws.
