{"product_id":"four-centuries-of-womens-musical-jacqueline-avila-9781009098137","title":"Four Centuries of Women's Musical Salons: A Cross-Cultural History","description":"For centuries, women have organized and hosted social gatherings known as 'salons, ' which have served as sites of women's creativity and agency in the arts, sciences, and letters - especially music. This volume offers new understandings of women's musical salons across four centuries from North America, Latin America, Europe, North Africa, and the Ottoman Empire, foregrounding an often-overlooked platform of women's musicianship in cross-cultural perspective. Drawing on disciplines including musicology, ethnomusicology, women's and gender studies, cultural and performance studies, film studies, art history, anthropology, and Jewish studies, the authors present a new history of women and music through the lens of musical salon culture. The twenty-five case studies included in the book present an array of practices and manifestations of the institution of musical salons. These cases demonstrate how women from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds used salons as sites of agency, shaping their musical environments according to their distinctive interests and ideals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacqueline Avila\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1009098136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009098137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Jacqueline Avila","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013683523839,"sku":"9781009098137","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23a9f48e-bf1a-4ed7-a53f-91f2acae0637.jpg?v=1767744111","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/four-centuries-of-womens-musical-jacqueline-avila-9781009098137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
