Abstract

Mary Pepchinski devotes her study to those temporary exhibitions taking place in German-speaking areas and in the USA between 1865 and 1912 that have as their goal the creation of spaces for feminist concerns and discussions in bourgeois public society. In these female cultural spaces emerging around 1900, we can see the reflection of feminist discourse specific to the era as it penetrates the characteristic spaces created by upper middle class women. The authors present little known source material and through their interdisciplinary approach they open up a point of access to an undiscovered aspect of the cultural history of modernism.
