Renowned textile and interior designer, Candace Wheeler set out to blaze a trail of self-sufficiency for the next generation at a time when a woman's financial fate was mostly dependent on a man.
Lecturer Charlene Garfinkle will focus on Wheelers work overseeing the interior decoration of the Woman's Building at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, a showcase for women's growing accomplishments in art, science and industry.
Garfinkle is writing a book on the decorative aspects of the Woman's Building in Chicago, 1893.
The Gamble House, a National Historic Landmark, is owned by the City of Pasadena and operated by the University of Southern California and is open for public tours.
