This book presents accounts of creative processes and contextual issues of current-day and early-twentieth century women composers. This collection of essays balances narratives of struggle, artistic prowess, and of 'breaking through' the obstacles in the profession. Part I illuminates historical and present-day women's composition and various iterations and conceptions of the "feminine voice"; Part II provides solutions from the frontline to sector inequities; and Part III offers personal stories of current creation in music. This book draws together topical issues in feminist musicology over the past century. This volume provides insight into the professional and compositional procedures of creative women in music and stands to be relevant for composers, performers, industry professionals, students, and feminist and musicological scholars for many years to come.
