Abstract	This document discusses the adult education component of two Canadian women's organizations from a historical perspective. The two organizations chosen, the Federated Women's Institutes of Canada and the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) of Canada have traditionally emphasized the education of women. The six sections of the paper cover the education mission of the two organizations from their founding before 1900 to the 1970's. The first section presents a historical perspective of adult education prior to 1900, and section II concentrates on the early years before the turn of the century. Section III covers the early 1900's; the Depression and Second World War period are examined in the fourth section. The fifth section covers the activities of both organizations in adult education in the 1950's 1960's, and 1970's. The final section examines the role of adult education in the YWCA and the Women's Institute, comparing their purpose, function, and future roles. References and an 11-page bibliography including unpublished materials, Canadian archives, and personal correspondence complete the document. (KC)
