Women and Music in Cross-Cultural Perspective

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This volume offers an introduction to the field of women, music, and culture, examining the implications of gender upon music performance. The presentation focuses on women from many different countries, cultures and historical periods--from the professional musician to the village preserver of traditional music and culture, from the young woman of the 19th century of hymnody tradition of the U.S. to the female tayu or "chanter" in the male dominated Gidayu narrative tradition of Japan.
