Music and Women: The Story of Women in Their Relation to Music (Diane Peacock Jezic Series on Women and Music)

Rating:
Summary: Zero respect for tradition
Review: What struck me first was its date (1948) and its unapologetic feminism. Drinker doesn't just ask - she DEMANDS to know what women were doing with their talents in those many 'silent' centuries. In the process she inspects the foundations of music as a social organism, its changing protocols, status, etc with a keen eye and zero respect for the canonized "tradition".
