Barbara Harbach Quotes
Is there a gender gap in the music industry? It is true that there are more professional male music creators than female.

It was almost acceptable by the 19th century for female writers to be published, yet it's only in the last couple of decades, since about 1980, that historical female composers have really emerged.
