1895 Copenhagen Women's Exhibition

Inspired by the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago, it was designed to demonstrate how far Nordic women had advanced in the areas of education, employment and art.

[1][2] The Chicago World's Fair in 1893 had impressed Danish visitors with its Woman's Building containing presentations of art and literature.

[1][3] Oxholm, who experienced difficulty in managing the arrangements, gave up her position as head of the coordinating committee in early 1895.

There were also separate listings of exhibits relating to housekeeping, philanthropy, hygiene, education, household crafts (spinning and weaving, leather, wood, embroidery, silk painting, and whitework), music and art.

[4] For the Den Frie Udstilling building, there was a separate inventory of 301 artworks, paintings and sculptures, listed by artist.
