Idea for thesis

Ideas started coming together again today during my swim.  2500m in a 50 m pool - 5 x 10 lengths.

In my literature review, I have decided to review Schwartz's Theory of Basic Values, followed by some stuff on masculinist values, women being associated with a single value (caring).

In the body of the work, I'd like to do a case study, where I review the new 20th century Gallery at the National Portrait Gallery to see how the new hanging fits with the policy criteria for this gallery (which they specify) and their Collections Policy. I have a suspicion that, although the new hanging is better than the last one (for a variety of reasons), it does not represent women equally favourably as men.  I'd also like to consider the media of the imagery for its gender match.
