It was visited by over 250,000 people who saw 16,000 exhibits by women from around Australia in competition for prizes, and 3,000 (non-competitive) entries from the rest of the world. It was one of the largest women’s exhibitions ever mounted. The exhibition opened on 23 October and closed on 30 November at the Royal Exhibition Building.
