(FRW), ISBN 0252077490, ISBN-13 9780252077494, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Editors Boisseau (gender and cultural history, U. of Akron) and Makwyn (history, Carroll U.) deliver a collection of essays that place world's fairs into a feminist historical perspective, examining them in terms of gender display and performance. A multidisciplinary roster of contributors looks at how women were excluded, obstructed, or successful in their efforts to participate as active agents at world's fairs, and at the ways in which gender played a role in various countries' fair exhibits. Taken together, the essays show how world's fairs expressed the prevailing gender relations at particular points in time, and how they helped shape women's activism and reframed the various political and social agendas of nation-states. A ground-breaking collection, this book will greatly interest feminist scholars and historians of international exhibitions Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
