Women at the Helm (English)

Diana Nemiroff

From obstacles of bureaucracy to veiled challenges to women in powerful positions, Women at the Helm paints a rich picture of what it takes to lead a major art institution. In her latest book, author and art historian Diana Nemiroff explores a transformative thirty-year period in the history of the National Gallery of Canada through the careers of its first three women directors (Jean Sutherland Boggs, Hsio-yen Shih, and Shirley L. Thomson), detailing each of their unique triumphs and tribulations.
