What a great idea.  The people who run the Cultural Leadership Programme in the UK know that there is a leadership disparity between men and women in the arts.  Lots of times the issue is that the women are just not visible enough in order to get that next job, so they decided to highlight the current women leaders to build the pipeline for the future. Here’s why they put together the list: There are nowhere near enough women in positions of power and influence, whether it be in the cultural and creative industries or other sectors. We need to do everything we can to enable and encourage the next generation.
