Aprašymas

These intimate memoirs of one of the greatest composers of classical music, Ethel Smyth, are first-hand accounts of the remarkable woman's life in music and in the suffragette movement.

Ethel Smyth (1858-1944) was an English composer and the first woman in her field to be granted a damehood. First published in 1919, this autobiography highlights her wit and humour, while giving personal and reflective insights into her childhood and working life. Detailing her career journey, exploring her relationships with some of history's biggest names, and disclosing information regarding her activism for women's suffrage, Ethel Smyth's memoirs are a fascinating and insightful read.

This volume is divided into three parts:

- The Smyth Family Robinson

- Germany and Two Winters in Italy

- In the Desert
