- Description
- The essays examine the history of women in musical theatre, providing biographical descriptions of the women themselves: analyses and interpretations of their productions: several accounts of how being a woman affected the artists’ careers: the transformation of the classic 'showgirl' image through the dances and stage movement created by prominent female choreographers: a survey of numerical data highlighting the discrepancy between the number of men versus the number of women hired to direct professional musical productions in different venues across the United States: the similarities among the careers of successful but neglected lyricists Rida Johnson Young, Anne Caldwell and Dorothy Donnelly: the Depression-era productions of Hallie Flanagan and Cheryl Crawford.

- Description
- From the 1500s through the 1900s there were a surprising number of women composing classical music. Many were successful, finding venues for both publishing and performing their music: others found the social barriers for women impossible to overcome. This book provides access to these composers, both well known and obscure. Arranged chronologically by era, each section is divided into countries. For each female composer within a country, a brief biographical sketch is provided, as well as a description of her body of work. This text also includes an extensive opera timeline of works by female composers.
