Cultural 'women to watch' omissions

Fifty "women to watch" have been selected for the Cultural Leadership Programme by a panel of judges including choreographer Wayne McGregor, broadcaster Jenni Murray and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah. Good to see such superb names as Kate McGrath , director of theatre producers Fuel, and Emma Stenning , executive director of the Bristol Old Vic chosen. But there are some significant omissions: I'll also be "watching" such women as Kathleen Soriano, who has taken over from Norman Rosenthal as exhibitions secretary at the Royal Academy of Arts; inspired curator Polly Staple, director of the Chisenhale Gallery in London; and Jackie Wylie, the young creator of an interesting programme at Glasgow venue the Arches.
