This week Sadie introduces us to Amy Beach, the American music Composer. First widely known for her piano performance, and then later her compositions, with a vast library of works, Beach was definitely not underrated during her lifetime (although history loves to overlook her now). We discuss the nuances of relationships back then, roles of women in society, the idea of "being one of the boys" and more as we talk about her accomplishments, success, and lasting impact on the history of American music. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/01/arts/music/amy-beach-women-american-composer.html">The Article about Amy Beach</a>Want to check out some of our favorite books?

"To the Girl Who Wants to Compose"

Welcome to MORE THAN A MUSE, a weekly podcast where we explore the lives of women artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, and more. Join Stauney (a graphic designer) and Sadie (a singer-songwriter) EVERY MONDAY as we reframe art history and pop culture with feminism, empowering women to be educated, unapologetically angry, and champion those whom history has forgotten. Through in-depth historical discussions and pop culture chats, we spotlight unsung heroines, all while challenging the status quo. It's time to remember every woman artist as 'More Than A Muse'.
