Excerpt from Woman in Music, Vol. 16
Some time ago I was requested to write a series of short articles on this much- neglected subject for "The Mother"s Magazine." The more I investigated the topic the wider it grew, and the present volume and a subsequent study of Children in Music were expanded from this initiative. In America the work of women in music has an especial interest, because the absence of all prejudice against women composers has led to a larger number of female writers of music than is possessed by any other country.
The universality of music study in the United States has resulted in the fact that almost all American children are somewhat in touch with the art, and it is rare to find any young miss who has not some practical knowledge of at least the piano.
The widespread influence of the Musical Courses in our Public Schools - much more general than in any foreign country - has furthered this musical activity.
