Dear Margaret, I think women's involvement in British temperance a splendid topic, too long overlooked by scholars. Could you please clarify your topic? Are you focusing primarily on a geographic region or will you cast a bigger net? A witness, who ran an inebriate's home, gave detailed testimony before the Royal Commission on Liquor Licensing in the 1890s. He is cited, as I recollect in my article on the medical campaign againt maternal drinking, published in the British Journal of Addiction. You may find this helpful. David Gutzke QUIT
