I look forward to the day when a list of women composers is not needed, and everyone is simply a “composer.” There is no similar list of “male composers”!

This list includes Fannie and Clara, who are better known, of course, because of their husbands.

The list is long. However, it leaves out some of the best female composers writing today.
