Hannah and the Hatchet Gang by Eleanor C. Parsons

After weeks of secret planning, Hannah Jumper and her neighbors took the law into their own hands and staged a five-hour rampage to rid their fishing village of "demon rum." On a torrid July day in 1856 nearly one hundred hatchet-wielding women gathered in the Cape Ann village of Rockport, Massachusetts to put an end to the misuse of liquor, as they proclaimed, "for all time."
