Review
This is one of the few existing books presenting a multicultural history of women in music. Aside from popular music, very little scholarship has been done on women's music history, no doubt because much of women's experience with music (pre-pop culture) has not taken place in the public domain. Beginning with the poetry of Sappho in ancient Greece, Women & Music goes through the centuries, highlighting the first European women composers; women's music in the context of religion; women's choruses; African-American women's music in this country; and women's music outside Western culture. With somewhat of a textbook flavor, I felt distanced at times, and I wanted more on women outside the European traditions. However, this book gives a good overview of the places that women and their music have existed and flourished, and spotlights the aspects of women's relationship to music that are uniquely feminine. -- From The WomanSource Catalog & Review: Tools for Connecting the Community for Women; review by Ilene Rosoff

4.0 out of 5 stars
great resource and overview,
By April Smith (Royal Palm Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Women and Music: A History (Hardcover)
I have used this book in research for my thesis on women classical composers. This resource was valuable as a starting point and addresses the ideas of what it is like to be a woman in the music business and includes references to classical composers, conductors, performers, etc.
5.0 out of 5 stars
