100 Years Of The Wi: The Acceptable Face Of Feminism

Professor Maggie Andrews will discuss some of the key campaigns and concerns of the Women’s Institute, from its origins in the First World War to the 1950s when, with half a million members, it was firmly established as the largest women’s organisation in Britain.

Maggie is a Professor of Cultural History at the University of Worcester; she has published widely on women, domesticity and the home front in 20th century Britain.

Monday 25 to Sunday 31 January is Diversity Week at The National Archives, which highlights the ongoing work across the organisation surrounding the representation of diverse histories.
