History of the Alberta Women's Institutes
No full textNewspaper Article - 'History of the Alberta Women's Institutes' - by Les Dunford - Barrhead Leader, July 28, 1997AWI CollectionHistory of the Alberta
Women's Institute LES DUNFORD
T& C Editor T he Alberta Women's Institute
( AWI) has been
around since 1909. The
AWI movement began in Ontario
100 years ago.
Now, there is a book just
recently out about the fascinating
story of the Alberta
Women's Institute.
" Many and Remarkable,"
written by Catherine C. Cole
and Judy Larmour is that story,
and explores Alberta
women's role in the events
that have marked our history.
Esther Brown, who works
on the farm with her husband
Earl, has been an AWI member
for many years. She recently
read the book and says
" There sure was a lot of work
done by AWI members
through the years from welcoming
immigrants, war
brides, helping with food,
clothing, etc., to other coun-
B a r r h e a d L e a d e r , J u l y 2 8 , 1997
The book talks about
the beginnings of
AWI in Alberta in
1909 as a small group
of isolated women around Lea Park,
to an extensive network of branches
throughout the province today
tries in war years, and much
more."
She feels it is a well written
book that allows the reader
to familiarize themselves
in what WI has done and
what they stand for.
" Many and Remarkable"
contains stories of pioneering
and the challenges and
achievements of women.
Through their efforts, they
have advocated on behalf of
the legal rights of women and
children.
The book also talks about
the development of public education
and health care systems;
and homefront activity
during the First and Second
World Wars. It looks at the
AWI role in international
peace and development, and
their consistent interest in
agricultural issues and farm
safety.
It is a remarkable record
of service by and for women
throughout the province, and
includes a complete list of
AWI branches in Alberta.
The book talks about the
beginnings of AWI in Alberta
in 1909 as a small group of
isolated women around Lea
Park, to an extensive network
of branches throughout the
province today.
Many and Remarkable is
the result of extensive
archival and oral history research
and makes an important
contribution to both
women's history and to the
history of Alberta.
Copies are available while
they last at $ 24.95 each, plus
shipping, handling and
tax/ and can be obtained from
any AWI member, or ordered
through the AWI office at
Suite 220. 10403 - 172 Street,
Edmonton, Alberta, T5S 1K9.

you are asked to please call
