True. Women were often seen as the moral guardians of the home and society, which gave them a platform to advocate for temperance as a means of protecting their families and communities from the negative effects of alcohol. This perspective was particularly prominent during the 19th and early 20th centuries in the United States, when women's organizations played a significant role in the temperance movement.
