Dame Frances Margaret Farrer DBE (17 March 1895 – 27 January 1977)[1] was Secretary of the NUSEC and later was named as General Secretary of the Women's Institute (NFWI) in 1929.
[citation needed] Partly through her family connections, she had a network of contacts which were very useful to NFWI as the organisation became increasingly active in lobbying government.
A founder member, in 1920, and first secretary of Abinger Women's Institute, she later became Director of the Abinger Hall Estate Co. Later she worked as a VCO in Surrey and was a member of the County Executive Committee.
[citation needed] She was created a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the 1950 Birthday Honours.
