I am not sure what causal line you can draw between women's liberation and prohibition. Prohibition was caused mainly by women's groups, so it clearly demonstrated that women had political power. However, it is not clear that prohibition gave them political power. Indeed, the prohibition movement became so powerful because of how narrowly tailored it was to the issues of prohibition, so it seems difficult to make an argument that the infrastructure they built for that fight translated into more general women's rights infrastructure. Prohibition was also a fairly backdoor movement. It did not pass because a bunch of advocates organized to gain mass public support. Instead, they concentrated funds to destroy any politician who opposed them. This might inspire fear and acceptance in the eyes of the positions at the time (in the sense of thinking "I have to take this women's group seriously, they might destroy me"), but would not help with the general public.
