Synopsis Women Building History by : Wanda Corn

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 siècle 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.

Synopsis Have We a Portrait of Annual Address Before the American Geographical Society, January 9, 1893 (Classic Reprint) by : Charles P. Daly

Excerpt from Have We a Portrait of Annual Address Before the American Geographical Society, January 9, 1893 Winsor's observation upon this degrading picture of the great discoverer is, that The critic's temper is too peevish and his opinions are too unreservedly biased to make his results of any value, 1 and gives his own estimate of Columbus, which is not a laudatory one. He describes him as a creature of buffeting circum stances, and a weakling in every element of com mand; that while not destitute of keen observation of nature, this quality was not infrequently prostituted to ignoble purposes; that he was a devout Catholic.
