Series Title: The Musical Woman

Reviews:

...[provides] information on the achievements of women music professionals in the twentieth century in all areas except solo performance.... All but one of the 15 articles in the essay section...were commissioned especially for this volume. Included are essays on women composers in Britain and the U.S., and treatments of three individual composers and four entrepreneurial pioneers. Since much of the information in The Musical Woman is not easily available elsewhere, this series will be a worthwhile acquisition for many music and/or women's studies collections.
—Reference Books Bulletin
Zaimont's work is directed at a wide audience: scholars, teachers, performers, arts managers, and anyone interested in women who work in the inter-related fields of the music world. As such, the book belongs in any high school, public, or university library, women's center, or career counselor's office commited to expanding their collections on women and/or women in music. ... The clarity of the photographs, musical examples, illustrations, charts and tables add immeasurably to the book's accessible and artful design. The index ... is a veritable storehouse of information, as is the gazette....
