Created[edit]

I saw that WP:BIAS said that this article was not created, so I decided to create it! I'm working off the model for Women in law, although the structure will eventually diverge. Icebob99 (talk) 01:44, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits[edit]

I added a few sentences in the history sections of this article. I wanted to add to this article to give more information to it and to make it a bit longer. I have been doing some research and I have found plenty of stuff regarding women in classical music, especially in history! I plan to slowly add more information as I do more research. The few sentences I added already is to just give the reader some more context of women historically in classical music. Trumpetplayer5801 (talk) 00:53, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I plan to add more to the history section of this article, which will create an imbalance.Trumpetplayer5801 (talk) 12:03, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added two paragraphs about impactful people of women's role in the history of classical music. I used The New York Times, The history of classical music (The women-only version) and I used Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page).Teresa Rupp's Women of Exceptional Accomplishment: Eight Women Composers. I did this to continue what the original author already started when they mentioned Hildegard Of Bingen, saying that she was one of the first historically recorded women composers. I used this to mention other women in history who were impactful. My contribution is mostly women and their accomplishments.Trumpetplayer5801 (talk) 17:26, 22 October 2018 (UTC) Here is my sandbox for my sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Trumpetplayer5801/sandbox Trumpetplayer5801 (talk) 13:38, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
