Women and Museums, 1850-1914: Modernity and the Gendering of Knowledge

Kate Hill

It sheds lights on women as museum workers, donors and visitors, demonstrates that through such roles women profoundly influenced the development of museums in the period and suggests that museums were a key site for the development of modern gendered identities –Back cover.
