been placed in a separate building. In this Department of Mines,
for instance, every woman would have sent to the Woman's
Building instead of to the State exhibit, and a greater number
would have been on record as exhibitors.

The only two exhibitions, or expositions rather, at all
approaching the one in St. Louis that I have attended were the
Centennial at Philadelphia, in 1876, and the International
Cotton Exposition at Atlanta, in 1895. At the first I do not
recall any emphasis on what women had done, except in the lines
in which she had always worked--art, needlework, and dairy
products. In Atlanta, as at Chicago, there was a Woman's
Building, and here were found her work in all lines, and many
visitors enjoyed the exhibition.

The recognition of woman as evidenced by her appointment on the
juries of the different departments, both group and department,
was the most striking development of the recent great
expositions.

names appear in the official catalogue of exhibits in the
