It describes organizational growth, department work in education, evangelism, legislation, social and political reform, and labor-related temperance efforts, with financial statements and annual meeting reports. Biographical sketches of key female leaders and illustrations punctuate the narrative, while the text emphasizes campaigning methods, local and statewide coordination, and the union's strategies for promoting prohibition and moral reform.
