But one girl marched to a different beat. Ethel Smyth climbed fences, explored graveyards, and yearned to become a famous composer at a time when only men could publisher their music. But become a composer she did, first signing her music as E. Smyth so people couldn't guess her gender then eventually writing openly as a woman (but still sometimes not getting paid!). Ethel had had enough. She joined the suffragette movement, marching in the streets and fighting for the right to vote. She even composed the famous 'March of the Women' battle cry--and directed it from her cell window with a toothbrush when she was put in prison." 600 14 $a Smyth, Ethel, $d 1858-1944 $v Biography. 650 4 $a Suffragists. 650 4 $a Composers. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a PeÌrez GarciÌa, Helena 941 $a 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015216.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=813EE06293D911ED8CF4B29E31ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
