This book recovers the significant contribution made by women to
museums, not just in obvious roles such as workers, but also as
donors, visitors, volunteers and patrons. It suggests that women
persistently acted to domesticate the museum, by importing domestic
objects and domestic regimes of value, as well as by making museums
more welcoming to children, and even by stressing the importance of
housekeeping at the museum. At the same time, women sought
'masculine' careers in science and curatorship, but found such
aspirations hard to achieve; their contribution tended to be kept
within clear, feminised areas. The book will be of interest to
those working on gender, culture, or museums in the period. It
sheds new light on women's material culture and material
strategies, education and professional careers, and leisure
practices. It will form an important historical context for those
working in contemporary museum studies This book is relevant to
United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, Gender equality. --
