"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 "Baldwin and Ackerson give readers a solid stepping stone to discovering more about the history of women in museums and encourage students to look at their own nations historical beginnings. They also detail how women seeking a career in the heritage sector will encounter existing barriers. These lessons from the workplace provided me with confidence not to accept the status quo." Greagh Smith, Victoria University of Wellington
