|
Anna Smeed Benjamin (née, Smeed; November 28, 1834 – June 1, 1924) was an American social reformer and activist involved in the temperance movement. After being drawn into the work of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, she joined the temperance cause, becoming one of its best known orators. A skilled parliamentarian, in 1887, she was elected National Superintendent of the department of parliamentary uses in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). In this role, she issued a series of "Parliamentary Studies". The drills which she conducted in WCTU "School of Methods" and elsewhere were popular and well attended by both men and women. For ten years, she served as president of the Michigan state WCTU.
