Gender, Sexuality and Museums provides the only repository of
key articles, new essays and case studies for the important area of
gender and sexuality in museums. It is the first reader to focus on
LGBT issues and museums, and the first reader in nearly 15 years to
collect articles which focus on women and museums. At last,
students of museum studies, women's studies, LGBT studies and
museum professionals have a single resource.
The book is organised into three thematic parts, each with its
own introduction. Sections focus on women in museum work,
applications of feminist and LGBT theories to museum exhibitions,
exhibitions and collections pertaining to women and individuals who
are LGBT. The Case studies in a fourth part provide different
perspectives to key topics, such as memorials and memorializing;
modernism and museums; and natural history collections. The
collection concludes with a bibliographic essay evaluating
scholarship to date on gender and sexuality in museums.
Amy K. Levin brings together outstanding articles published in
the past as well as new essays. The collection's scope is
international, with articles about US, Canadian, and European
institutions. Gender, Sexuality and Museums: A Routledge Reader is
an essential resource for those studying gender and sexuality in
the museum.
