Abstract
The essay provides an overview of the female participation in the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative Art held in Turin in 1902. By reading the specialised magazines and catalogues of the exhibition it was possible to identify the names of the participants, some of their works displayed and the judgment of the jury. The biographies of individual designers and artists made possible to investigate their backgrounds as well as their contribution to Art Nouveau in the interior design field. The paper highlights the conditions favouring women’s admission to the Turin international exhibition, and the artistic and professional success that those women were able to obtain as a result of the first international exhibition devoted exclusively to decorative arts.
