Ethel Smyth - Grasp the Nettle

T0612466369
A whirlwind of Ethel's exploits and passions interwoven with her songs, the story of her greatest opera, 'The Wreckers' and her battle for an equal voice. Illuminated with anecdotes from her confidants, her letters and her own writing "... "which is peculiarly beautiful and all of it rippling with life". Ethel Smyth, the composer, writer and suffragette, was the living embodiment of the courage and passion with which Victorian women challenged the "male machine". As an activist, she was imprisoned in Holloway with Mrs Pankhurst. As a composer, she wrote the anthem for the suffrage movement 'The March of the Women' as well as composing 6 operas and many sonata's, quartets and song cycles.
