Established in 1892, the society under the statutory name of ”The Society of the United Landwomen” [Pol. Towarzystwo Zjednoczonych Ziemianek], with its future headquarters in Warsaw, was the fi rst, and therefore the oldest, women’s institution of this type and of such impetus, with a socio-educational, economic and agricultural profi le, on the basis of which subsequent organizations were established, including the fi rst one in Canada, then in England, building their statutes on the Polish model.
