The book is organised into three thematic parts, each with its own introduction. Sections focus on women in museum work, applications of feminist and LGBT theories to museum exhibitions, exhibitions and collections pertaining to women and individuals who identify as LGBT. The case studies in a fourth part provide different perspectives to key topics, such as memorials and memorializing: modernism and museums: and natural history collections. Contains also a bibliographic essay evaluating scholarship to date on gender and sexuality in museums.
