Fanny Mendelssohn’s lovely compositions were published under her brother Felix’s name to avoid social scandal. Clara Schumann combined maintaining an international performing and composing career with raising seven children and caring for her composer husband Robert\, who battled with depression. Franklin explores the great talents of these women\, as well as works by composers including Amy Beach\, Barbara Strozzi\, Margaret Bonds\, and Louise Farrenc.

George Sand juggled her successful writing career with supporting the endlessly complex needs of her lover Chopin and raising her two children. Cosima Wagner and Alma Mahler both defied social mores and scandalized their contemporaries with their affairs and marriages to powerful older composers\, becoming their muses and managers. The brilliant Boulanger sisters\, composer Lili and teacher Nadia\, influenced the path of modern composition\, with composers from across the Western world beating a path to Nadia’s door for her uniquely insightful guidance.
