Richly historical portraits of five exceptional women musicians

Trade Review

"A welcome contribution to the literature on women in music. Richly contextualized and engagingly written, Porter's book offers portraits of five women who lived lives full of music and whose music should enliven our concert halls more."

--Anne MacNeil, author of Music and Women of the Commedia dell'Arte in the Late Sixteenth Century
"An engaging book that draws readers into deep consideration of the complexities facing women—then and now—who forge careers in music. Highly recommended."--Choice
