Abstract

Many women have led successful lives as professional musicians, but their contributions to our cultural heritage have largely been ignored. This article describes a project, at the University of Huddersfield, designed to redress the balance by systematically presenting the case for the work of women composers to be recognised in the University's History of Music courses and Compositional Studies lectures.
