In early January 2016, when the Tate announced that staffer Frances Morris had been appointed the new director of Tate Modern, the first woman and the first British national to hold the position, her phone came alive with congratulatory tweets and messages. But there was one that mattered more than any others. It was from her daughter and said simply, “Congrats to my mum #francesmorris SO proud. @tate is lucky to have you.”
