In the interwar years, she capitalized on the success of the Institutes to help create the ACWW, a global organization of rural women. A feminist imperialist and a liberal internationalist, Watt was central to the establishment of two organizations which remain active around the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eA Great Rural Sisterhood\u003c\/em\u003e, Linda M.
