NATIONAL FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S INSTITUTES OF
ENGLAND AND WALES
Women's Institute work was organized in England by Mrs.
Alfred Watt who moved from British Columbia in 1913. In 1914, the
first Women's Institute was organized on the Island of Anglesey. One
of the most important Institutes organized was at Sandringham,
where Her Majesty Queen Mary was the first President. Women's
Institutes were lovingly called " Canada's Gift to the Motherland."
ASSOCIATED COUNTRY WOMEN OF THE WORLD
Mrs. Watt did not stop after organizing Institutes in
England and Wales. Backed by Judge Emily Murphy, who was the
first President of the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada, work
was started to form an international group. It was not until 1930 at an
international meeting of women in Vienna that she was able to make
progress. The Associated Country Women of the World was formed
in 1933 at Stockholm, Sweden, with Mrs. Alfred Watt as its first
President.
One of the aims is to promote and maintain friendly and
helpful relations between the countrywomen and homemakers, and to
give all possible help in their development in the economic, social
and cultural spheres.
