As the president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, she championed the cause of prohibition while linking it to women’s suffrage and social reform. Willard's ability to unify women under a common cause allowed the temperance movement to gain momentum, demonstrating the interconnectedness of social issues. Her writings, such as How I Learned to Ride the Bicycle, served as both a personal narrative and a call to action. Willard's efforts significantly advanced the visibility and legitimacy of women in public life during her time.
