Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the successful collaborative and independent endeavors of Californian women to bring the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition to fruition, funding it entirely through their own efforts. Despite never having held official roles in previous world expositions, these women, led by Phoebe Hearst and Frederick Sanborn, spearheaded fundraising and administrative responsibilities to create a spectacular spectacle that celebrated the completion of the Panama Canal. The exposition they created featured a host of California-specific attractions such as a building dedicated to the state's history and contributions, as well as many events that highlighted the area's natural beauty and resources. This book stands as a testament to the power of women's ambition, ingenuity, and their ability to make positive change in the world. Through the women's collective efforts, California became the first state to fund and manage a world's fair on its own.
