Presentation Abstract
Throughout the course of history of western music, there is a very clear pattern of the figures that were prominent during many of the important eras of music. When most people think about the people who paved the way for music, the first names that come to mind are Mozart, Bach, Handel, Beethoven, etc. It isn't a coincidence that all of the well known composers during these eras are all males. Due to societal norms of many centuries, female composers and musicians did not receive the recognition they deserved for their influential works throughout multiple eras of music. The purpose of this research is to bring recognition and awareness to these female figures whose work heavily influenced the history of western music.
