The Women's Institute (WI) is a community-based organisation for women in the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand. The movement was founded in Stoney Creek, Ontario, Canada, by Erland and Janet Lee with Adelaide Hoodless being the first speaker in 1897. It was based on the British concept of Women's Guilds, created by Rev Archibald Charteris in 1887 and originally confined to the Church of Scotland. From Canada the organisation spread back to the motherland, throughout the British Empire and Commonwealth, and thence to other countries. Many WIs belong to the Associated Country Women of the World organization.

  • Le British Women's Institute (L'Institut des femmes britanniques), souvent simplement WI (pour Women's Institute), est un organisme communautaire britannique pour les femmes. Il a été formé en 1915 avec deux objectifs clairs : revitaliser les communautés rurales et encourager les femmes à s'impliquer davantage dans la production alimentaire au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Depuis lors, les objectifs de l'organisation se sont élargis et le WI est maintenant la plus grande organisation volontaire des femmes au Royaume-Uni. (fr)
