Review
“Every essay is a gem. This book should be required reading for anyone who is interested in the status of women in the field and for those courses that are now being offered in a few music schools.”–

Product Description
Emphasizing group dynamics, The Musical Woman series charts the accomplishments of women in the field of music in almost every capacity. Articles highlight the group presence of musical women and the series also commits itself to feature creative individuals, to survey particular music specialties, and to provide an up-to-date profile of women's ever changing progress in this field. Covering the period from 1986 to 1990, Volume III includes an expanded Gazette and 19 new, thought-provoking essays. Sizable attention is given to women's international contributions in music: several essays are centered in Finland, the USSR, Canada, and Australia. Volume III also covers issues linking music with sociology, history, feminist theory, and world music.
