Description
Ethel Smyth (1858-1944), Rebecca Clarke (1886-1979), Dorothy Howell (1898-1982) and Doreen Carwithen (1922-2003). In their time, these women were celebrities. They composed some of the twentieth century's most popular music and had pioneering careers. Today, they are ghostly presences, surviving only as muses and footnotes to male contemporaries like Elgar, Vaughan Williams and Britten. This new group biography puts the spotlight firmly back where it belongs - on lives of rebellion, heartbreak and ambition, and on musical masterpieces.
