List of Published Songs (2,700 titles) Composed by American and British
Women, ca. 1890-1930 Compiled by Christopher A. Reynolds, Professor of Music, University of California, Davis. "This bibliographic list of songs by women began as a private record of my collection of popular and art songs by women. I have chosen the years 1890 to 1930 because my own experience as a collector suggests that these years are arguably the zenith of women's activities as song composers." |
