I am writing an article for our department newsletter about one of our former department chairs who seems to me to have broken some significant ground for women in the administration of art departments in the southeastern United States. She was chair of three different art departments beginning in 1970 until her retirement in 1990. The article can't be too lengthy, but I want to try to put her achievements in recent historical context of academic administration so that younger readers especially will be able to understand what she did, what academia was like then, how it was changing. I wonder if someone could easily point me to some references that deal specifically with academic art departments, especially something like a timeline of women administrators, or women department chairs, or women in administrative positions in art and art history departments in the U.S.?
Thank you!
