I have been privileged to work with many impressive women leaders throughout my career. This has made me realise that there is no reason why I shouldn’t aim as high as I want, provided me with different models for being a woman and a leader, and demonstrated the challenges of balancing work and life. I was also very lucky to do a Cultural Leadership for Women course at City University, London, and this enabled me to reflect on the impact these and other women have had. At the time there were no women leading national museums, but happily this has changed now.
