nstances hardly more than one or two would apply to a given
department. They were based on the rules and regulations, however, by
which awards were issued.
The Department of ---- at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in
which you were a juror in group No. ----, contained ---- groups
and ---- classes within the groups. Can you give an approximate
estimate of the proportional number of exhibits by women
contained in these classes?
Please give the nature of the exhibits by women (or articles
exhibited by them) in your department, group, and classes.
Which, in your opinion, were the most striking exhibits by women
in your department?
What advancement did they show in the progress of women in any
special industry, art, science, etc.?
What proportion, or, approximately, what number, of exhibits
were installed by foreign women?
Was any display made that would lead you to think that women

Chicago Exposition) or at any time in the past?
In what way did their work (or exhibits) differ from their work
(or exhibits) of the past?
Would their work, as shown at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
where it was placed on equal terms of comparison with that of
men, prove helpful or suggestive to those interested in the
advancement and success of women's work? If so, how?
Was the work of women as well appreciated when placed by the
side of that of men?
Would the results have been better if their work had been
separately exhibited?
If you have attended previous expositions, please compare the
exhibits of the work of women shown in them with those shown at
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Were any manufacturers asked (to your knowledge) to state the
percentage of woman's work which entered into the manufacture of
their special exhibits?
Were they shown in such manner as to indicate in any way, or to
enable you to distinguish, which part had been performed by
women, which by men?
In your opinion, what proportion of the work was performed by
women, as compared with that performed by men, in the groups and

What proportion of women received awards in your group or
classes?
