Anna Adams Gordon (1853-1931) was an American social reformer, songwriter, and, as national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union when the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted, a major figure in the Temperance movement. She was also a caring, competent, complex woman, wholeheartedly devoted to what she believed. She had the friendship of almost all the WCTU leaders, the love and affection of its young people, and respect from the rest of the world. Gordon devotedly supported the WCTU for 54 years, including serving for 22 years as living and traveling companion and private secretary to Frances Willard, longtime head of the WCTU.
