Description
This Macmillan collection explores the creative journeys of women composers across a century, balancing narratives of artistic achievement with the real obstacles they faced in the music profession. Divided into three focused sections, the book examines how women composers have conceived and expressed the feminine voice throughout history and in contemporary practice, offering both historical context and present-day perspectives. Part I investigates creative work across different eras, Part II addresses current industry inequities with practical solutions from working professionals, and Part III explores the collaborative relationships between composers and performers. Ideal for music students, historians, and anyone interested in understanding how women have shaped classical music despite systemic barriers.

Key Features

Macmillan's comprehensive collection spans a century of women's composition, documenting creative processes from early twentieth-century pioneers to contemporary artists.

Three structured parts organise content from historical analysis through to modern industry perspectives and collaborative practices.

Essays balance narratives of artistic achievement with accounts of the professional obstacles women composers encountered and overcame.

The book examines different conceptions of the feminine voice in music composition across multiple historical periods.

Frontline solutions and recommendations address current sector inequities affecting women composers and performers.

Suitable for music history students, composers, performers, and readers interested in women's contributions to classical music.
