This review investigates the curatorial logic behind women-only programmes by looking at two recent examples: Tate Britain's Sixty Years collection display and Richard Saltoun's 100% Women exhibition series. Citing examples of similar exhibitions that stretch back to the 1970s, the review asks whether such a strategy - whose newness is routinely invoked - is wearing thin.
