Looking For The Women Where are the women composers? Quote: "For centuries men have dominated the history, theory and politics of music. In addition to history books that glossed over women’s contributions, early music theory distinguished between harmonically weaker 'feminine' cadences and strong, resolute 'masculine' ones.

'Everything in music goes counter to what we think of as feminine or masculine. It just doesn’t apply'." Link
