Came across a great composition quote:
"Our society unfortunately doesn’t trust women’s talents yet, and our colleagues would rather not notice, or hear, the music [we write], even if it can equal or sometimes even excel in its ideas and
originality some of their frequently poor productions… Someone told me I must die first in order to gain fame! But I don’t feel like dying yet. And I prefer to justify my posthumous fame by writing a
greater number of compositions first."-- Anna Maria Klechniowska, as quoted in Lindstedt, “Why Are Our Women Composers So Little Known?" (2019).
