Acknowledgements
The editors offer their thanks to all the curators, assistant curators, museum front of house workers, educators, and artists and other workers whose labour is represented in these pages: before we started researching this we hadn't understood the breadth and depth of the commitment to the intersection of feminism and art that has been demonstrated around the world.
The editors would also like to thank our respective institutions, Loughborough University and the University of Brighton for supporting the creation of the artist index, and Marlous van Boldrik and Áine McKenny for completing the work.
We are grateful to acknowledge our circle of local feminist friends, writers and readers whose ongoing interlocution on matters pertaining to art, feminism and exhibitions have been an important impetus for this book:
- Althea Greenan
- Alexandra Kokoli
- Amy Tobin
- Catherine Grant
- Ceren Özpınar
- Felicity Allen
- Helena Reckitt
- Jo Stockham
- Lenka Vrábliková
- Lina Dzuverovic
- Lucy Reynolds
- Oriana Fox
And finally huge thanks to Rachel Greenberg, Sarah Milton, Alta Bridges, Liz Wingett, Umar Saleem, Juhitha Manivanaam and their teams at Wiley for the excellent production of a complex volume.
