Description
The lives of four extraordinary women who changed the musical world are told in this debut biography. Fabulous stories of love, adventure, and trailblazing careers are woven together to create a vivid portrait of four pioneering figures. From the trailblazing queer Victorian composer Ethel Smyth to the talented violist Rebecca Clarke, and from the prodigious Dorothy Howell to the pioneering film composer Doreen Carwithen, each woman's story is a testament to their courage and creativity. Their music and legacy have endured, but in their time, they were celebrities, composing some of the century's most popular music and pioneering creative careers. This book sheds new light on these forgotten women, revealing their struggles and triumphs, and their lasting impact on the world of music.
