The book explores the influence of women on the art of music across various cultures and time periods, highlighting their contributions to musical compositions and traditions. It aims to evaluate women's place in the musical world, both in terms of their creative output and their roles in supporting male counterparts. The opening of this work delves into the historical and mythical representations of women and their relation to music from ancient civilizations. It discusses figures such as Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, and the significant roles of female deities in Hindoo mythology who contributed to the development of music. Elson expands on how ancient cultures revered women musically while also detailing the paradox of their limited roles in performance and composition. The narrative sets a tone of recognition for women's historical contributions while preparing the reader for a broader examination of their impact throughout music history.
