Description
Women, Home & Country marks the centenary of the New Zealand Federation of Women’s Institutes, celebrating 100 years of friendship, service and community across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Richly illustrated with archival material, contemporary photography and personal reflections, this beautifully produced hardback traces the story of the organisation from its rural beginnings in 1921 to its nationwide presence today. It captures the spirit of the Federation and the vital role its members have played in supporting families, strengthening communities and contributing to New Zealand life over generations.
The book also documents the Federation’s centenary celebrations in 2021, reflecting the creativity, resilience and care shown by members as they navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic through commemorations, community initiatives and acts of service.
At its heart, Women, Home & Country is a tribute to the countless women whose often unseen contributions have enriched communities across the country. Warm, reflective and deeply authentic, it is both a valuable historical record and a lasting celebration of connection, legacy and collective spirit.

About the Author
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.
