For the citizens of Chicago especially, the exposition provided the means to demonstrate that their city was an advanced metropolis at a time when many deemed it to be second rate. To achieve this goal, many forward-thinking women throughout the United States were successful in ensuring that the exposition included a separate exhibition space for women to showcase their talents in art and industry. The 1893 Woman‟s Building was not the first to exist at a world‟s fair, but it was the first that visibly symbolized women‟s advancement. Unlike former women‟s buildings, this Woman‟s Building was built by and controlled by women. This thesis explores the specific strategies that were used to make this building a success. It also draws attention to the fact that while the Woman‟s Building was only temporary, it was the first museum dedicated to women artists and it laid the groundwork for the National Museum for Women in the Arts in Washington D.C., which functions as a separate, but equal museum representing women in the arts. iii iv Acknowledgments There are many people that I want to thank for helping me as I completed this thesis. First, I want to thank my family. Without their love and support this thesis could not have been possible. I especially want to thank my mom for being an outstanding proof-reader and offering me suggestions to improve the thesis. I also want to thank several friends for their support and patience. First, I want to thank my dear friend, Michelle Moskauski for her encouragement and unfailing belief in me. I also want to thank my good friend Lee Edward Slaughter, damn New Yorker! His words of encouragement, never-ending debates, and games of Uno provided balance and humor on many occasions. So thank you Lee for reminding me to not take things so seriously. I want to thank my friend and classmate, Nancy McGowan. Nancy supported me during my time at the university and while working on my thesis. She aided me with my research and with proof-reading. She always offered constructive criticism and advice on all matters. So, a big thank you Nancy. I wish to thank my roommate and friend, April Harkness and her son, Alex for their support and making sure that I took breaks away from the computer screen and surprising me with cupcakes from Sugar Bliss. In addition, I want to thank my friends Mary Cook (Miss Mary Mack), Sharon Ossowski, Kristi Harley and Liz Lens for their words of wisdom and encouragement. They share my love of Chicago and have been wonderful cheerleaders for me. All researchers have their “go to people” and mine is my friend, Gwyneth Stupar. Aside from being a wonderful friend, as a reference librarian, Gwyn assisted me with gathering v research material. When I could not or did not know how to find a particular original source, Gwyn always found it and got to me. I want to thank her for taking time out of her busy work schedule to help me with my research. Finally, I want to thank my thesis advisor, Kim Paice for helping me to complete this project. Kim offered wonderful guidance and support. Thank you again, Kim. vi Contents Table of Contents 1 List of Illustrations 2-3 Introduction 4-11 Chapter 1: Bertha Honoré Palmer and the World‟s Columbian Exposition Board of Lady Managers 12-31 Chapter 2: Women of the Woman‟s Building 32-47 Chapter 3: Model Museum 48-54 Conclusion 55-57 Bibliography 58-62 Illustrations 63-101 1 List of Illustrations Chapter 1 Illustration 1.1: Jackson Park, 1893 Illustration 1.2: Jackson Park, 2010 Illustration 1.3: The Court of Honor Illustration 1.4: Frederick MacMonnies, Columbian Fountain, 1893.

The world‟s fair to set this precedent was the London Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851. Some of the firsts introduced at the World‟s Columbian Exposition include: the Ferris Wheel, the Midway, Shredded Wheat Cereal, and Edison‟s kinetoscope. It also served as Walter Disney‟s inspiration for his Magic Kingdom. Like previous world‟s fairs, it provided a venue for cultural and intellectual pursuits, as well as, recreation and entertainment. Due to the mélange of exhibitions and visitors, world‟s fairs were melting pots as people from all over the world and all walks of life gathered to take in the wonders of mankind. Thus, world‟s fairs were egalitarian as they were created by the people and for the people. Unlike other nineteenth-century social venues such as museums, cafes, theaters, and restaurants that observed social station, world‟s fairs had few social restrictions. In regards to the World‟s Columbian Exposition everyone from the illustrious Queen Isabella of Spain to the construction workers who built it attended. World‟s fairs of the nineteenth century showcased the works of contemporary artists from around the world, and significantly aided in the recognition of those overlooked in mainstream society and only known locally. The works often included examples of various schools of art. For example, Romanticism and Impressionism were officially introduced to the world at the 1893 Chicago World‟s Columbian Exposition. In addition to schools of art, world‟s fairs 1 Stanley Applebaum, The World’s Fair of 1893 (New York: Dover Publication Inc., 1980), 106. 2 It is difficult to find the exact count of countries since not all countries exhibited in all the buildings. 4 introduced the names of contemporary artists to society at large, names that are instantly recognizable today, such as Claude Monet (1840-1926), Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), Pierre- Auguste Renoir (1841-1919), James McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), etc… In regards to fine arts, world‟s fairs were primarily a spin-off of the old European salons; however, as stated by Elizabeth Gilmore Holt in her book The Art of All Nations 1850-73, art showcased at world‟s fairs was “displayed in a neutral setting, removed from the environments that, in the past, had contributed to their symbolic associations.”3 As a result, artists became recognized and judged by their own artistic merit as first demonstrated at London‟s Crystal Place Exhibition of 1851. This study focuses on the 1893 World‟s Columbian Exposition Woman‟s Building. It was not the first such building in existence, since the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876 and the New Orleans Cotton Centennial Exposition of 1884-1885 had both possessed one; however, it was the first to significantly contribute to the elevation of the status of both famous as well as less known female exhibitors nationally and internationally.4 Several factors made the Columbian Exposition Woman‟s Building particularly significant.

Also, this would have been a far less rewarding experience were it not for many of my colleagues and classmates in the graduate program. I also am indebted to the outstanding administrative staff of the Department of History for their tireless efforts in keeping me enrolled and on track. I thank all involved for the opportunity and for the ongoing support.

This situation is even more marked in the world of the art generally and in the world of the artists in particular. In the art history women’s are not almost present and in the world of the art’s historians no more. With this panorama, the historian of the art Linda Nochlin, in 1971 published an article, in the magazine “Artnews”, releasing the question: "Why are not there great women artists?" Nochlin throws rejects first of all the presupposition of an absence or a quasi-absence of the women in the art history because of a defect of " artistic genius ", but is not either partisan of the feminist position of an invisibility of the women in the works of art history provoked by a sexist way of the discipline.

The purpose of this survey was to locate and identify any cultural resources within the project area and to assess their significance in terms of eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the Sarasota County Register of Historic Places (SCRHP). This report is in compliance with the Historic Preservation Chapter of Apoxsee and Article III, Chapter 66 (Sub-Section 66-73) of the Sarasota County Code, as well as with Chapters 267 and 373, Florida Statutes (FS), Florida’s Coastal Management Program, and implementing state regulations regarding possible impact to significant historical properties. The report also meets specifications set forth in Chapter 1A-46, Florida Administrative Code (FAC) (revised August 21, 2002). Background research, including a review of the Florida Master Site File (FMSF), and the NRHP indicated no prehistoric archaeological sites were recorded in the project area.
