One could add a line from analysis of feminine mediative role between realm 
of nature and realm of culture (nature/nurture issue): women process 
natural materials into cuisine, they also guide children from their benign 
natural state (when, let us say, diapers counts) to a well-behaved individual.

Similarly, curator mediates while taking things out of their (natural, 
ambiental) context to situate them into new cultural construct.
In a sense, we are all women here.

No offense!  : )
