(In)visible – Women’s work at the Vienna World’s Fair

“The world is coming to Vienna” – the first world’s fair to be held in a German-speaking country opened in Vienna’s Prater park 150 years ago. The “Women at Work” exhibition is dedicated to the “Women’s Pavilion”, with which the 1873 Vienna World’s Fair made history by making the female working world visible for the first time.

Guide

The exhibition entitled “Women at Work – 150th anniversary of the Women’s Pavilion at the Vienna World’s Fair” addresses an aspect of this major historical event that has so far been given little attention: the pavilion of women’s work as a pioneering achievement in making the female working world visible. Based on preserved objects, archive materials and photos, the guided tour of the exhibition provides insights into the daily work, education and life of women in the second half of the 19th century and looks into the ambivalences of the (in)visibility of women and work.

Gender pay gap, care work and diversity in technology: Taking the major historical event of the world’s fair as a starting point, connections to the current debate about equality in education and pay are discussed.
