Informationssystem der Universit t Oldenburg, 1995. A Selective Annotated Bibliography on Women and Gender Issues in Music, 1987-1992. Margaret D. Ericson. The German bibliography lists approximately 1,400 books, all of which, unfortunately, are only in either English or German. The last chapter is by far the most extensive, and though it deals with composers, most of the listings are of performing musicians, especially singers.
Indexes are by author and title.
The American title, Women and Music , by contrast, gives one a sense of US research on this topic, and of the quality of bibliographic work in the States. Based on the annual compilations for the Women and Music Roundtable of the Music Library Association, it lists 1,836 entries for the years 1987-92, covering both books and articles. In its coverage of both sources and topics, it is thoroughly international. Most of the remaining citations are in German, which is also significant. The organization into fifteen chapters is adequate.
