Example text
Museum work was seemingly acceptable for women as the handling of objects was considered something appropriately feminine (in fact handling objects, cleaning and ordering them had been the traditional role of women at home). Women were considered to be ‘especially suited to museum work by their love of the beautiful, their adaptability and their patience in detailed work’ (Thomas 1933, quoted in Levine 1994:17). In addition museum work did not entail much interaction with the public sphere. Women were secluded in museums, doing what the Greek archaeologist Semni Karouzou herself described as ‘invisible services’, as mentioned by Nikoladou and Kokkinidou.

The husband may move elsewhere, and the wife therefore be deprived of the libraries, laboratories or supervision, upon which her research depends. And, of course, when the research stage is past and the woman, if unmarried, would be in the market for academic posts, she is tied by the occupation of her husband. Even if he, too, is an academic, it limits the choice of posts available to her.
