Bertha Honoré Palmer is a women often recognized as an early collector and donor of impressionist paintings to the Art Institute of Chicago. However her legacy is also richly preserved at the Chicago History Museum, where a large collection of clothing, personal items and memorabilia shed light not only on her remarkable life as a local, national, and international figure, but also on the history of late nineteenth-and early twentieth-century Chicago. By virtue of her family's position and her marriage, she was destined to become an integral part of Chicago's privileged society. As the president of the board of lady managers at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, she encouraged women's participation in various aspects of the world's fair and championed equal rights for women around the world.
