A Force To Be Reckoned With, A
History Of The Women's
Institute By Jane Robinson,
Womens Studies Book

Everyone knows three
things about the Women's
Institute: that they
spent the war making jam;
the sensational Calendar
Girls were WI; and, more
recently, that
slow-handclapping of Tony
Blair. 215, 000 women in
the UK belong to the WI.
Their membership crosses
class and has recently
begun to recruit huge
numbers of young women
(eg Shoreditch Sisters
(check))/ It was founded
in 1915, not by worthy
ladies in tweeds but by
the feistiest women in
the country, including
suffragettes, academics
and social crusaders who
discovered the heady
power of sisterhood,
changing women's lives
and their world in the
process. Certainly its
members made jam and sang
'Jerusalem', but they
did, and do, much more
besides. This fascinating
book reveals for the
first time how they are -
and always were - a force
to be reckoned with. This
book has 294 pages and is
15.9 x 2.7 x 24.1 cm
