About the BookThe World's Columbian Exposition included amazing exhibits of the results of women's activities--in the arts, industry, science, politics and philanthropy. Most of these were housed in the Woman's Building, which was designed, decorated and administered entirely by women. Reviews"The narrative is fascinating . . . in uncovering the politics of women whom we have been [told] had no politics."––New York Times Book Review "One of the most fascinating, though forgotten stories in the history of women's achievements."––Christian Science Monitor "The political machinations of the factions, their joint battles against the men . . . are recreated so vividly that each page becomes a treasure."––Chicago Tribune "A treasure trove for anyone interested in the fine and decorative arts, late 19th century American culture, or the early years of suffragetism . . ."––Washington Post |
