The Woman's Building was designed by Sophia Hayden,
of Boston. She studied architecture at the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology (MIT). This was the largest exhibit devoted to
women in the history of World's Fairs. It demonstrated a growing
trend in recognizing the rights and accomplishments of women.
Remember, it would not be till 1920 that women had the right
to vote in the United States.
