description After the ‘Commune’ and the Franco-Prussian War, the anti-alcohol movement established itself in France as a scientific, elitist and masculine movement. Previous research has shown that women were confined to traditional roles by practices and discourses about the ‘angel of the house,’ and that they were excluded from the anti-alcohol crusade. However, a re-examination of the temperance reviews published at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century reveals the presence of numerous women who were highly respected by their contemporaries, though they have been largely ignored by historians so far. The present study focuses on the activities of these women who transmitted temperance ideas: anti-alcohol activists, teachers and women of letters. The article aims to demonstrate that women also contributed to the hygiene education in France, in the same way as their male counterparts.
