Captions available
The idea
Working-class families could not live on one wage, masculine worth strained, and artisanal skills went obsolete. Alcohol was the consolation, and the anchor ties first-wave feminism to temperance because drink meant domestic violence.
In practice
The pub as the working man's parlor.
Where people slip
Temperance as feminism's ally is the anchor's link.
