This book, edited by Ascensión Mazuela-Anguita, brings together nine chapters by scholars from Europe and the United States which present recent research into different aspects of the role of women in the configuration of music networks from the early modern period onwards. The focus is on discussion of women?s music networks in the context of an interdisciplinary approach, including authors from the fields of musicology, but also philology, modern languages, book history, and literature. The overall aim of this volume is to offer a radically different approach on western musical culture, by using a pioneering combination of sources and methodologies other than those employed in the traditional creation-centred musicology. This combination is required to challenge women?s invisibility in music history and allows us to establish dialogues between periods as distant as the fifteenth and the twentieth centuries. Contributors are Colleen Baade, Anne J. Cruz, M. Merce Gras, Alicia Lopez Carral, Maria Palacios, Jose Manuel Pedrosa, Laurie Stras, Melanie Traversier, Laura Ventura Nieto, and Veronica Zaragoza. Ascension Mazuela-Anguita, PhD (2012), Universitat de Barcelona, is an Associate Professor (tenured) at the Universidad de Granada. She has published widely on women, music, and culture in the early modern Hispanic world.
