Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
These papers follow on from the workshop on women's studies in archaeology, held at the 1990 IFA conference. Margaret </ze> Ehrenberg (245--7) in `Digging up Eve' emphasises the absence of female activity in interpretations of past societies and the restrictions within present day society that reinforce this state of affairs. There is a need to work towards making women visible in academia as well as in academic output. Siân </ze> Jones (247--9) in `Presenting the past: towards a feminist critique of museum practice' considers both the portrayal of women in museums and the interpretations of the visiting public. A twofold problem, the museum displays often exclude active or powerful portrayals of women but, even when included, they can remain invisible. A now famous case in point is the representation of a medieval female merchant in a Southampton museum display who was interpreted by members of the visiting public as a nagging housewife. `Men and women in archaeology: issues of employment and education' by Roberta </ze> Gilchrist (250--1) draws attention to imbalances in the employment structures within the discipline and the subsequent amounts of kudos and money attributed to female and male dominated areas. In `Mapping women's place in contemporary archaeology' Deirdre </ze> O'Sullivan (251--3) provides statistical evidence for female activity and participation at all levels of the profession. It also includes data on female participation in apparently informal situations such as conference proceedings where women were found to give fewer papers and were not invited to ask questions as frequently by the chair. | ||
