Women in Music

Women in Music: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography emerging from more than twenty-five years of feminist scholarship on music. This book testifies to the great variety of subjects and approaches represented in over two decades of published writings on women, their work, and the important roles that feminist outlooks have played in formerly male-oriented academic scholarship or journalistic musings on women and music.

Karin Pendle has taught at Oberlin College, the University of Western Ontario (London), and the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, from which she retired in 2004. Melinda Boyd is Assistant Professor of Music History at the University of Northern Iowa. Her research focuses on women composers and performers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
