Women in Music Education in the United States: Names Mentioned in History Books

Abstract

The purpose of the study was to determine which women were mentioned most frequently in general United States music education history books and to examine the contexts in which the authors discussed women's work. A survey of individuals interested in music education history was then conducted to determine whether they would recognize the names of these women and whether they would consider them important to the music education field. An examination of five histories revealed 334 citations for 164 women. Only 11 women's names were mentioned five or more times. A questionnaire was sent to 39 respondents, who were invited to rate each of the 11 names for recognition of the woman's name and her work in music education. Agreement regarding name recognition was found to exist between histories and the 28 respondents who returned the questionnaire.
