Description

The World's Columbian Exhibition, held in Chicago in 1893, included amazing exhibits of the results of women's activities-- in the arts, in industry, in science, and in reform and philanthropic work. Most of these were housed in the Women's Building, which was designed, decorated, and controlled entirely by women. Weimann traces the struggles among the women for the domination of the Board of Lake Managers, describing the politics and passion for the first time.
