The Womens Institute

Product Description

The Womens Institute- Susan Cohen

When the first Womens Institute was formed in Llanfair, Wales in October 1915, no one could have foreseen how this small-scale experiment would grow to become. This book traces the story and evolution of the WI: through the decades punctuated by two world wars, where food preservation and handicrafts, drama groups and choirs, charabanc outings and running market stalls were the mainstays of the organization, to the new challenges and opportunities which unite members in the twenty-first century.
