This handsomely illustrated book is a welcome addition to the
history of women during America's Gilded Age. Wanda M. Corn takes
as her topic the grand neo-classical Woman's Building at the 1893
Columbian Exposition in Chicago, a structure celebrating modern
woman's progress in education, arts, and sciences. Looking closely
at the paintings and sculptures women artists made to decorate the
structure, including the murals by Mary Cassatt and Mary
MacMonnies, Corn uncovers an unspoken but consensual program to
visualize a history of the female sex and promote an expansion of
modern woman's opportunities. Beautifully written, with informative
sidebars by Annelise K. Madsen and artist biographies by Charlene
G. Garfinkle, this volume illuminates the originality of the public
images female artists created in 1893 and inserts them into the
complex discourse of fin de siecle woman's politics. "The Woman's
Building" offered female artists an unprecedented opportunity to
create public art and imagine an historical narrative that put
women rather than men at its center.
