I added text which addresses a contested claim in the article. The key sources are a peer-reviewed 2018 study in Social Forces (Busch) and the EEOC website. The text is:
Although Feldman has publicly argued on multiple occasions that the growing proportion of women in art museums threatens compensation levels in the field, this claim has been contested by subsequent scholarship. A 2018 study by sociologist Felix Busch, examining U.S. census data from 1960 to 2010, found that occupational wage erosion linked to feminization had been steadily declining since the mid-twentieth century, varied considerably across professions, and was driven primarily by historical gender stereotypes rather than current workforce composition. Paula England, a co-author of the longitudinal study Feldman cited in support of her position, subsequently stated that findings about gender-based devaluation of occupations "should never be used as a reason to discriminate against women trying to enter the field." Preferential hiring of men over women in employment decisions is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
