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

Book Review: Zero respect for tradition
Summary: 4 Stars

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".
