Drawing upon extensive archival research, interview material, and
musical analysis, Female Composers, Conductors, Performers:
Musiciennes of Interwar France, 1919-1939 presents an innovative
study of women working as professional musicians in France between
the two World Wars. Hamer positions the activities, achievements,
and reception of women composers, conductors, and performers
against a contemporary socio-political climate that was largely
hostile to female professionalism. The musical styles and
techniques of Marguerite Canal, Jeanne Leleu, Germaine Tailleferre,
Yvonne Desportes, Elsa Barraine, and Claude Arrieu are discussed
with reference to significant works dating from the interwar
period. Hamer highlights the activities of Jane Evrard and her
Orchestre feminin de Paris as well as the reception of the
Orchestra of the Union des Femmes Professeurs et Compositeurs de
Musique, a contemporary pro-suffrage organisation that was
dedicated to defending the collective interests of musiciennes and
campaigning for their employment rights. Beyond women composers and
conductors, Hamer also sheds light on female performers and their
contribution to the interwar early music revival.
