Maestra surveys the contributions of women composers to every major classical music period from the Middle Ages to the present, highlighting their impact on the musical canon. Case studies of women composers from each classical music era - including Hildegard von Bingen, Clara Schumann, Fanny Hensel, Delia Derbyshire, and Judith Weir - are presented alongside detailed considerations of the music which they wrote, the opportunities and social barriers which they encountered, and the institutions which they worked within. Full of remarkable accounts of women who pushed the boundaries of creativity and social expectation, this illuminating book reveals the true story of classical music for the very first time.
