From next Tuesday at the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading, Berkshire: Action Women: The Real Story Behind the Women’s Institutes.
“A main thrust is to show the range of activities that the WI and its members have undertaken over the years,” says Fiona Moorhead, of the Women’s Library, which is curating the exhibition. “It will be arranged along themes ranging from how, in the early years, the WI helped rural women who were isolated, to recent campaigns such as chemicals in food. The exhibition is about getting across how dynamic these women are.”
