The period of prohibition, from 1919 to 1933, marks the fault
line between the cultures of Victorian and modern America. In
"Domesticating Drink," Murdock argues that the debates surrounding
alcohol also marked a divide along gender lines. For much of early
American history, men generally did the drinking, and women and
children were frequently the victims of alcohol-associated violence
and abuse. As a result, women stood at the fore of the temperance
and prohibition movements and, as Murdock explains, effectively
used the fight against drunkenness as a route toward political
empowerment and participation. At the same time, respectable women
drank at home, in a pattern of moderation at odds with
contemporaneous male alcohol abuse.
During the 1920s, with federal prohibition a reality, many women
began to assert their hard-won sense of freedom by becoming social
drinkers in places other than the home. Murdock's study of how this
development took place broadens our understanding of the social and
cultural history of alcohol and the various issues that surround
it. As alcohol continues to spark debate about behaviors,
attitudes, and gender roles, "Domesticating Drink" provides
valuable historical context and important lessons for understanding
and responding to the evolving use, and abuse, of drink.
