The Exposition of Women's Arts and Industries seems to have been an event that started in the late 1910s or early 1920s (the seventh exposition took place in 1928) to provide female artists and designers a venue to display their creations without being crowded out by their male counterparts.

The medal measures 57mm in diameter and was struck by the Medallic Art Company of New York. The mintage is not reported.
