Institute for Women has emerged as a force for good, if not a radical movement in this animated story

Jane Robinson centenary history of the Institute for Women aims to demonstrate that the organization has nothing to do with jam and Jerusalem. Instead, WI Robinson is a group of feminists to consider, not "blood and thunder" feminism, the truth, but a few feet "on the ground of the brand to do with the self-esteem and fair reward "

The problem with this argument is that women have always jam WI. During World War II, five "jam-busters", produced 1,500 bottles of them in a single season. And I always sang "Jerusalem" (coded almost beyond human hearing, said Joyce Grenfell, WI to attend a meeting in 1936). He sang timidly in the early days, patriotically during the Second World War (although in a village, the National Guard had cut the legs of the piano and the pianist had to s 'lie on the floor), and the rebellion in more recent times. few years ago, a group of demonstrators in Gloucestershire WI awakened hundreds of protesters singing "Jerusalem" in a protest against the closure of hospitals.

Yes, they had their moments along the way radical. Famous, who applauded slow, Tony Blair, off stage during his speech to the General Meeting of Shareholders in 2000, a year after a courageous group of middle-aged women in Yorkshire had stripped all for the calendar is celebrated in

(although perhaps not "conquer the world", as suggested by Robinson).

is a lively and engaging reading. But it is a book for converts. Although not being a member of the same WI, Robinson is happily seduced by the rhetoric. "The WI made friends of strangers, the users of the trusted and skilled craftsmen shy fans to chance," he wrote.
Yes, but they are really a force to be reckoned with? "It was difficult to be too pessimistic, if you like a game of pin strip off Hitler mustache ... or be with their closest friends in the army weave down the middle son of the other mothers," said with more enthusiasm than irony in the description of activities in time of war the WI.
