Pyramid or Pillars

Unveiling the Status of Women in Arts and Media Professions in Europe

Danielle Cliche, Ritva Mitchell and  Andreas Joh. Wiesand  (eds.), Bonn / ARCult Media 2000 (also available in French language!)

This empirical study presents results of a three year European research project, based on the findings of specialists from all corners of Europe. For the first time, the (sometimes underestimated) representation of women in cultural labour markets, their (inadequate) presence in decision-making positions in culture and media institutions, the degree to which they receive public recognition  for their work and other key questions regarding training and professional development are unveiled.
