Transforming the public sphere: the Dutch national exhibition of women's labor in 1898

By

Abstract

In 1898, the year Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was inaugurated, five hundred women organized an enormous public exhibition showcasing women's contributions to Dutch society as workers in a strikingly broad array of professions. The authors discuss how the 1898 exhibition displayed the range and variety of women's economic, intellectual, and artistic roles in Dutch culture, including their participation in such traditionally male professions as engineering, printing and publishing, and pharmacy. Nationale Tentoonstelling van Vrouwenarbeid 1898.
