• "Women's Music for the Screen: Diverse Narratives in Sound is the first book to focus exclusively on the work of screen composers who identify as female - shining a light on those who have excelled internationally in their field, and the systemic gender bias that has made their path so difficult. Research presented combines collated data, biographical material, composer interviews, select filmographies and musicological analyses of many influential scores for film, television and video games that offer fresh, more inclusive perspectives on this traditionally male-dominated domain. Sixteen chapters comprising individual profiles of 12 internationally acclaimed composers from the 1940s to the present, and case studies of different industrial contexts document women's rich contribution to screen music encompassing diverse styles and genres"--
