Perhaps the recent swell of controversy surrounding the Democratic primaries has cast a light on the question of the persistence of sexism in the US and beyond, or perhaps it's just a good time to talk about these issues, but there has been quite a lot of chatter (online and elsewhere) on the matter. People are asking some good questions. For example, What precisely does the fact that women are still under-represented in major museums mean?

This short piece in The Guardian's Art & Architecture Blog argues that women's struggle in the arts is far from over. And just last year, Jerry Saltz wondered "Where Are All The Women?" By his estimation, only 8% of the artists represented in the new MoMA were women. No matter the occasion for the conversation, it seems inevitably to spark frustration, even among those who feel as though they do their part to promote women artists.
