Review
"'Gender studies in music may be the fastest growing, most influential part of a discipline that was once dominated by European scholarship. . . . And it now has its first anthology . . . giving a portrait of the state of the art of gender criticism." -- Edward Rothstein, New York Times
"Neatly dispels the common misconception that gender studies concerns only the recovery of women's history in music. The fifteen essays that comprise the volume offer a heady mixture of ideas about the relationships among music, gender, and sexuality; the contributors include some of the most thoughtful critical music scholars writing today." -- Ellie M. Hisama,The Journal of Musicology
"The sensitizing work done in these essays is indispensable to an understanding of where music's future lies." -- Laurence Vittes, Los Angeles Reader Review
