Dear Kristy
I have worked with English Heritage on the repositioning of how the story of
Henrietta Howard the owner of Marble Hill House and Park is told and
interpreted:
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/marble-hill-house/. It is
currently a house that was owned by 'George III's mistress' to a house owned
by a woman who was partially deaf, who left her abusive husband to build a
house and set up a salon in west London. The project is currently being
developed but it might be worth talking to Kate Pitt about it:

As part of the initial HLF bid we talked about using the Bechdel test on the
displays.
I hope that is useful.
Best wishes

Subject: Female Representation in Museums
Hi all,
I am a CHM student at the University of York currently working on my MA
dissertation. My topic is focused on representation of women in museums and
broader heritage, and I am particularly interested in issues such as lack of
representation, or instances which could be seen as trivialising or
inaccurate to the image of historical women. I am looking for any relevant
resources or discussion of the topic, any help would be really appreciated!
Also any insights or commentary anyone might have on how museum
practitioners apply feminist theory or otherwise consider issues of gender
representation when curating exhibitions would also be interesting to hear!
Best wishes,
Kirsty
