It is a disgrace that in the 21st Century half of the world's population is still not considered equal to the other half! The classical music world to this day has problems in acknowledging women. Imagine what it was like in 1930's and 1940's Germany as a female composer. That was the experience of Sophie-Carmen Eckhardt-Gramatté. Had she been male, she would have been hailed as the equal of Paul Hindemith and Ernst Krenek. As far as I'm concerned, she IS their equal, if not their better!
