Description: "This is a reference work of sheet music published in the United States from the late 18th century to the year after adoption of the 19th amendment to the Constitution granting women the right to vote. In chronological order, the entries present bibliographic data on each piece of music, a photographic depiction of the cover or first page (where available), and the complete lyrics for each piece.

Included are early music of a rebellious nature, music surrounding the early woman's rights conventions, and pro and anti woman's rights and suffrage pieces from 1795 on; a limited number of entries on non-U.S sheet music are also presented. General music about women, sentimental and love songs, and songs related to traditional roles and stereotypes have not been included."--BOOK JACKET.
