Un libro ameno y divulgativo que sorprende tanto por su descripción de las divinidades, musas y sacerdotisas de la Edad Antigua como las de las compositoras e intérpretes reales y también aquellas que habitaban en conventos y monasterios femeninos, las orquestas de mujeres y las que crearon óperas. Una obra magnífica que nos presenta otra historia de la música, en este caso en clave femenina. Del Antiguo Egipto a la España de la posguerra, de la mujer medieval encarnada en la figura de Hildegard von Bingen a la compositora operística Augusta Holmès, pasando por Clara Schumann o María Barrientos, este libro hace un recorrido por las circunstancias sociales, políticas y económicas a las que tuvieron que enfrentarse algunas de las mujeres cuya labor artística quedó ofuscada y que es necesario reivindicar.
An engaging and accessible book that surprises readers with its rich portrayal of divine figures, muses, and priestesses of the ancient world, as well as real-life female composers and performers—including those who lived in convents and monasteries, played in women’s orchestras, or created operas. This magnificent work presents an alternative history of music—one told from a female perspective. From Ancient Egypt to postwar Spain, from the medieval mystic Hildegard von Bingen to opera composer Augusta Holmès, and including figures like Clara Schumann and María Barrientos, the book explores the social, political, and economic circumstances faced by many women whose artistic contributions were overshadowed—and whose legacies deserve to be reclaimed.
