Guest Dr. Leah Broad joins us from Oxford University’s Christ Church to discuss Quartet, her acclaimed new biography of four British composers: Ethel Smyth, Rebecca Clarke, Dorothy Howell, and Doreen Carwithen. Three of the four women were celebrities in their own day and all were incredibly talented, yet their captivating life stories and their once acclaimed compositions have been all but forgotten today. We also discuss the film Tár. Discussed in this episode:Our Lost Ladies of Music Spotify playlistQuartet: How Four Women Changed the Musical World by Leah BroadEthel SmythRebecca ClarkeDorothy HowellDoreen Carwithen Virginia Woolf Queen VictoriaThe Wreckers by Ethel SmythEmmeline PankhurstThe March of the Women by Ethel SmythLamia by Rebecca Clarke Henry WoodBishop Rock by Doreen CarwithenBenjamin BrittenFor episodes and show notes, visit: LostLadiesofLit.com Follow us on instagram @lostladiesoflit.
