Women's Pavilion at the Columbian Exposition

The Women's Pavilion Columbia Expo is renowned for its wonderful architecture and wide international presence. The women's pavilion is particularly important. This was the first type designed by female architects, revealing the need for further development of women's social dilemmas and equality rights campaign at the time. Its existence did not cause major changes in women's movement, but this pavilion is certainly a promising first step, which will be a precedent for women's participation later.

On January 2, 1893, Frederic Douglas gave a speech at the Haitian Pavilion at the World Columbia Expo in Jackson Park, Chicago. Douglas, a famous writer, abolitionist, and polaris publisher, spent Bajamin Harrison regime as a US minister and Consul-General from Haiti from 1889 to 1891.

In 1893, Congress urged the World Columbia Expo to hold several panel discussions including women's topics. This decision was largely due to Anthony's work behind the scenes, backed by petitions signed by the Supreme Court Judge, Senators, Cabinet members and other senior wives and daughters. Representatives of the World Expo representing women's conferences come from 27 countries, with 150,000 women and men participating in the conference.

Art explanation and analysis: Casatte's biggest piece, 58 x 12 feet mural is a women's architectural painting of the 1893 World Columbia Expo in Chicago. It consists of three groups: a young girl pursuing fame, a young woman picking up knowledge and scientific results, and arts, music, and dancing. Unfortunately, the entire mural was destroyed at the end of the exhibition, limited to black-and-white photos and color prints of the central panel. The choice of knowledge of this young lady and the details of scientific results glimpse the influence and theme of this memorial work. This mural uses the murals of Italian Renaissance, Japanese prints, and Les Nabis, but Mr. Casat also changed these materials to mine.
