"Women in the Museum is a bold study that corrects erroneous impressions that, because more women than men are entering the museum workforce, inequities have been banished. Alas, they are alive and well, as is carefully delineated here with ample evidence by the authors. Brief histories of significant – if often forgotten – females in museum history, together with sometimes hair-raising accounts from current workers, will enlighten those committed to institutional inclusion."
Amy Levin, Northern Illinois University, USA
“Women in the Museum should be required reading for [those] both emerging museum professionals and seasoned leaders wishing to address the longstanding and often unspoken problem of gender bias in the field. I especially appreciate the candid view into the lives of real women, past and present, making vital contributions to all aspects of the museum workplace. As established advocates of women in leadership positions, Baldwin and Ackerson provide concrete strategies for achieving gender equity across the profession."
Paula J. Birnbaum, University of San Francisco, USA
The number of women working in museum settings has grown exponentially since the start of the twentieth century. Women in the Museum explores the professional lives of the sector’s female workforce today and examines the challenges they face working in what was, until recently, a male-dominated field.
Drawing on testimony gathered from surveys, focus groups, and interviews with female museum professionals, the book examines the nature of gender bias in the profession, as well as women’s varied responses to it. In doing so, it clarifies how women’s work in museums differs from men’s and reveals the entrenched nature of gender bias in the museum workplace. Offering a clear argument as to why museums must create, foster, and protect an equitable playing field, the authors incorporate a gender equity agenda for individuals, institutions, graduate programs, and professional associations.
Written by experienced museum professionals, Women in the Museum is the first book to examine the topic in depth. It is useful reading for students and academics in the fields of museum studies and gender studies, as well as museum professionals and gender equality advocates.
