Subject and Association Descriptionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_Institute:
The Women's Institute (WI) is a community-based organization for women in Canada, the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand. The movement was founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, by Erland and Janet Lee with Adelaide Hoodless being the first speaker in 1897. It was based on the British concept of Women's Guilds, created by Rev. Archibald Charteris in 1887 and originally confined to the Church of Scotland. From Canada, the organization spread back to Britain, throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth, and to other countries. Many WIs belong to the Associated Country Women of the World organization [continues].
