ABSTRACT

When a young and rising nation wishes to take its place in the world of art and industry it is careful to secure adequate representation at an International Exhibition. Women are very much in the position of such a nation; they do not wish to enter into undue competition, or to range themselves as rivals with those who command the markets of this country, or of the world, but they do want recognition for their work on its merits, for they feel that the amount and excellence of the work done by women in England and her Colonies is absolutely unknown to the general public. An Imperial Exhibition of Women’s Work would clearly be very useful.
