Women in the Arts8 May 2008
Are womem under represented in the boardrooms of British cultural institutions?

We discuss a new advertising campaign in magazines like Vogue and Marie Claire – that aims to attract more women to the top jobs in the arts. Margaret Hodge MP has attacked the "ludicrous" under representation of women in the boardrooms of British cultural institutions and accused them of "paying lip service" to equal opportunities. The ad campaign is an attempt to raise the proportion of women running museums, galleries and theatres from a third to a half – but some critics say it’s not necessary, and women are already well represented.
