What is Women of the WI?

Women of the WI is a social media project, created to celebrate the centenary of the Women's Institute in 2015 by showcasing as many different women who are involved in the WI and the fantastic things that they do, not only as part of their own groups but also in their day to day lives.

Having taken inspiration from accounts like @peopleofleeds and @Bristol52, each Monday a new person will take over the @WomenoftheWI account for the week, giving us a unique snapshot of their lives and the work of their WI. We want to showcase as many WI's and their meetings as possible and so we will be looking to get WI's to tweets during a week when they have a meeting and so as part of the application process, please think about what meetings would be the most interesting for people to follow. Any woman can represent your WI and so please feel free to open up the application to your whole group, they just have to be able to tweet throughout the whole week.

The project will be officially starting on Thursday 1st January aims to run throughout the whole of 2015.
