The exhibit was comprised of sculptural and multimedia installations, focusing on such topics as the sexual discrimination and harassment of women architects, and the glass ceiling said to be limiting the advance of women in architecture."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe guide to the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (\u003ca href=\"https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\"\u003ehttps://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/\u003c/a\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["Rights Statement for Archival Description"],"odd_tesim":["The guide to the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 ( https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/ )."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eResearchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993,\" Ms1994-023, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Researchers wishing to cite this collection should include the following information: [identification of item], [box], [folder], \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993,\" Ms1994-023, Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va."],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe processing, arrangement, and description of the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" commenced and was completed in August 1994.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["The processing, arrangement, and description of the \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\" commenced and was completed in August 1994."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe collection is composed almost exclusively of materials created for the exhibit or in preparation of the exhibit, \"More Than the Sum of Our Body Parts: An Exhibit by CARY, 1992-1993\".
