Richly illustrated with photographs and personal stories, it captures a century of friendship, service and community, and the enduring impact of women supporting women across Aotearoa.
ABOUT THE INSTITUTE
The New Zealand Federation of Women's Institutes was founded in 1921 to bring women together to share knowledge, build skills, and strengthen community life. Originally established in rural areas, the organisation created opportunities for connection, education, and support at a time when many women were isolated.
Over the past century, the Federation has grown into a nationwide network, welcoming women from all walks of life. Through local institutes, members have fostered friendships, developed practical and creative skills, contributed to community initiatives, and supported causes both locally and nationally.
With a long-standing commitment to service, learning, and connection, the Federation continues to play an important role in enriching the lives of women and strengthening communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.
