Sitting down with Magdalene, an 80-year-old former physiotherapist and the warm soul of the Eynsham Women’s Institute, felt like opening a cherished book of stories. On this episode of Lou Brown Talks, we wander through the WI’s history, sparked by Madge Watt’s vision in 1913 to unite rural women. Here, amidst peeling carrots or tending chickens, everyday women shaped policies on humane farming, marine pollution, and more. Magdalene’s memories, woven with her late husband’s devotion to poultry welfare, revealed how quiet moments of connection can ripple into lasting change.
As our conversation deepens, we explore what holds us together and what pulls us apart—modern loneliness, the fading pull of tradition, and the need for women’s voices to rise above today’s clamour. With a nod to suffragettes like Edith Rigby and the WI’s spirit of cross-generational unity, Magdalene’s words carry a gentle urgency: keep speaking, keep listening. Her humour and heart left me inspired to listen deeply, seek common ground, and let the steady brilliance of women guide us toward a more connected world.
