Odd how Kenny and most “historians” never want to talk about the impact of giving women the vote just before this Prohibitionist era. How did so many states get the necessary “push” to accomplish the Prohibitionist era? Once Kenny starts to grin when you ask this...you can just walk away and realize that he’s not much of a real historian.
Most of the prominent women in the suffrage movement were also part of the temperance movement. They didn't just want equality, they wanted to control the men.
