Many Many Women



There is site called Many Many Women that documents the women in the avant-garde / experimental music scene. It is the ultimate go-to resource of those interested in listening to, booking, or educating themselves to the ladies of this genre pool. Spoiler alert, there are a way more than you probably thought! 

Here is a quote from the site about what they do:

"The focus of this index is on women in contemporary/post-classic composition, free improvisation and avant jazz, electronic/electroacoustic music, sound art, sound installations, radio art, etc. A few of these artists may also work within relatively mainstream forms (rock, singer-songwriter, folk, dance music), but they are included here because of their other work that is more experimental. I’ve also included some classical composers who lived and worked in the early part of the 20th century; while their music may be more conventional by current standards, they deserve recognition as pioneers in their own right. "
