Beskrivelse
Throughout history women have been composing music, but their achievements have usually gone unrecognized. The few in earlier times who gained some renown were as often as not the sisters, daughters, wives, or muses of well-known men―the surnames of Fanny Mendelssohn and Clara Schumann speak for themselves. Even with the present-day increase in their number, women composers have largely failed to draw the attention of the public.
