Women on Display: Gender and the Great Lakes Exposition
This exhibit examines the ways that women were involved with and depicted at the Great Lakes Exposition. The expo was held for two summers, during 1936 and 1937, along the shore of Lake Erie, just north of downtown Cleveland. Like all regional and world's fairs, the Great Lakes Exposition was held to promote industry, business and consumerism. Female imagery ranged from the blatantly sexual casino and peep shows to the fresh faced, wholesome, young women who acted as official hostesses, and the society matrons who were icons of respectable, middle-class, values.
