WinsomeDefiance -> RE: Women are born/built by design to be submissive and have to be taught to be any other way. (8/28/2010 10:26:36 PM)

Obviously Isabelle Stayt was either talking out of her ass, or being fascetious - not having read her writing and not knowing if the quote was taken out of context or not, I can't say. Either way, if you are citing that quote as a source to prove some vague and obscure point here are just a FEW female composers:
Francesca Caccini was one of the best-known female composers and performers of the Baroque era. Moreover, she is the first woman known to have written an opera. Unfortunately only one of her operas, La liberazione di Ruggiero dall’isola d’Alcina, survives.
Barbara Strozzi
What little is known about Barbara Strozzi (also known as Barbara Valle) suffices to make her an extremely intriguing figure. Perhaps the most outstanding female composer of the seventeenth century, Strozzi studied under respected musicians and published eight collections of her music. Music, however, was possibly not her only means of support as several sources indicate she may have been a courtesan as well.
