Four Thought - Creative Women
Anna Beer asks why we don't hear more music composed by women.
She argues that many creative women still live, as they have for centuries, in the shadow of the courtesan. Using the stories of female composers from Medici-era Florence to twentieth-century Britain, she shows how excellent music composed by women has been ignored or overlooked, and explains why.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
