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
Calendar Girls
(although perhaps not "conquer the world", as suggested by Robinson). Women have always fought for WI radical questions, women small: in 1922, were vehement in demand for better education on sexually transmitted diseases, after a large number of soldiers returning from World War II first infected wives
- The organization has had its share of impressive leaders. The most formidable was Lady Gertrude Denman, who was in charge before and during World War II. He was the archetypal eccentric English fighter, leading his horse through the farm with a whip pan, chop the trees along the road. And it does things. As the wife of the Governor of Australia, he managed to enter the health of the Australian forest, when he was not busy playing hockey in their ballroom. As head of IT, education and tirelessly promoting social reform.
- But even the tone of saccharin could be when the WI Denman. "I think the country's women are the salt of the earth", announced in 1946. And if she was pleasantly free of class consciousness, many SOF individual in the parish and remained under his direction. In the 1930 Friday in Britain "adopted" families of the unemployed in a paternalistic, as it was very useful. During the war, several branches WI protested having to resettle refugees from the city, complaining that it would be sick and dishonest.
Robinson Through extensive research and writing style A force to be reckoned
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.
