Emphasizing group dynamics, The Musical Woman series charts the
accomplishments of women in the field of music in almost every
capacity. Moving beyond the exception, articles highlight the group
presence of musical women. The series equally commits itself to
highlighting creative individuals, surveying particular music
specialties, and to providing an up-to-date profile of women's ever
changing progress in this field. Covering the period from 1986 to
1990, Volume III includes an expanded Gazette and 19 new,
thought-provoking essays. Sizable attention is given to women's
international contributions in music: several essays are centered
in Finland, the USSR, Canada, and Australia. Volume III also covers
issues linking music with sociology, history, feminist theory, and
world music. The expanded Gazette is encompassed in Part I of this
volume. Part II includes the 19 original essays. Several summarize
women's contributions as composers on the podium, within the
recording and film industries, and in other capacities. One essay
provides a current checklist of women in music organizations. Two
genre surveys and an essay on women music scholars in Russian and
Soviet history present readers with significant research. Critical
appraisals are given of three women of achievement. For the first
time in this series, two essays discuss the science of music--women
musicologists and music librarians. Another essay presents the
novel concept of a middle school curriculum concentrating on music
by women composers. An essential article to this series is an
analytic survey of how women have fared in music competitions over
a 22-year period. This volume concludes with an essay documenting
women musicians, across several generations, within notable musical
families.
