Frances E. Willard, 1906

The WCTU's national president, photographed in office.

What

A head-and-shoulders portrait of Frances Willard, longtime national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union — the movement's organizing intelligence, next to Nation's public face.

Why

Willard built the institution; Nation supplied the theater. This house tells the counter-collection's story more honestly with both.

Notice

The quiet formality — an organizer's portrait, not an activist's spectacle.

“The movement had two faces. This is the one that did the paperwork.”
