Caroline Amelia Nation
(25 November 1846 – 9 June 1911), often referred to by
Carrie
or
Carry Nation
,
[1]
was a radical member of the
temperance movement
, which opposed alcohol before the advent of
Prohibition
. Nation is noted for attacking alcohol-serving establishments (most often taverns) with a
hatchet
.
Nation was also concerned about tight clothing for women; she refused to wear a
corset
and urged women not to wear them because of their harmful effects on vital organs.
[2]
She described herself as "a bulldog running along at the feet of Jesus, barking at what He doesn't like",
[3]
and claimed a divine ordination to promote temperance by destroying bars.
