Women and museums, 1850-1914 : modernity and the gendering of knowledge

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    Gender in history (Series)

  • Description

    "This is the first attempt to recover the entirety of women's contribution to British museums in the period 1850-1914. 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.
