This introductory chapter questions the prevailing outlook (at the time) that “women's place is in the home,” in particular addressing the conception that certain forms of creativity are gendered. It emphasizes the importance of expanding the perceptions of the general public about the opportunities, restraints, and accomplishments of talented women in music—perceptions that have been warped by a “cultural amnesia” that leads women to think that they have toiled alone, living with the assumption that their art, even its sublime heights, has been practiced through past centuries only by men. The chapter considers the causes of this cultural amnesia, before concluding with brief biographies on the five women to be discussed in the succeeding chapters.
