The biddies revisit the story of Prohibition with a Women’s History Month lens, and women are ALL over prohibition. They were some of the most successful bootleggers, including one worth hundreds of millions of dollars by the end of her career. As many know, women’s temperance groups helped start Prohibition, but the biddies also learn that a group of campaigning women also ended it. Tune into Prohibition, round two (and this sequel is better than the first!).
