Description
She Wrote the Songs by Patricia Hammond In the Victorian era, women found an outlet for their creativity in parlour songs - intimate, home-based musical performances that became the pop hits of the day. Despite being barred from positions in universities, cathedrals and orchestras, these women made a significant contribution to British music. Their unique role in this period of musical history has largely been forgotten, overlooked by historians and marginalised in the timeline of music. Now, Patricia Hammond is putting the record straight, sharing tuneful tales of political reform, personal empowerment and the fascinating story behind these remarkable women's songs. This book sheds new light on a previously overlooked chapter in British musical history, revealing the extraordinary contribution of women who wrote and performed parlour songs during the Victorian era.
