| Opplysninger | "Founded in 1929, The Museum of Modern Art owes much of its early success to a number of remarkable women who shaped the future of the institution in its first decades. Because the notion of a museum of modern art was new, there was a conspicuous absence of the professional prerequisites, official structures, and respectable salaries that would have limited the jobs to men. This left the door open for a host of women to define their own roles and invent new fields, as founders, patrons, curators, and directors of various departments. We Wore Hats Then: The Untold Stories of the Women Who Shaped The Museum of Modern Art transports the reader to the grit and glamour of midtown Manhattan in the 1930s and '40s. It profiles fourteen pioneering figures who made an indelible mark not only on MoMA, but on the culture of their time. These illuminating essays deepen our knowledge of MoMA's history and contribute to a broader understanding of women's achievement in the twentieth century"--
