Rutherford.Women have remained consistently underrepresented in the administration of American art museums. Though there are significantly more women museum directors today than forty years ago women are still a minority, especially in larger institutions where compensation and prestige are highest. Despite the lack of comprehensive, current scholarship, the significance of gender equity in museum management remains relevant today.
