Abstract


It is the purpose of the work, based on the study of publications on alcoholism and women's education in the early twentieth century, to demostrate that Social Medicine, under the cover of wellbeing and health of the community, used women in their antialcoholic programmes. This instrumentalization of women had a double bias and obeyed one objective: to educate women for them to educate their children and thus gain control over the home and family environment of workers.
