Music in the Women's Institute has become stereotyped by the ritualistic singing of Jerusalem at monthly meetings. This book looks beyond Jerusalem by examining the full range of music making within the organization and locates its significance within a wider historical-cultural context. It also examines the organization's promotion of folk song.
