to create feminist art that would not only encompass and express the entire being of

Feminism: Why Feminist Theory Is Necessary After All
- Essay by Nina Baym, Jubilee Professor of Liberal Arts & Sciences, U.
Illinois "Feminist theory's main point--that no coherent definition of that crucial
feminist term woman underlay our diverse undertakings--was undoubtedly correct. But
feminist theory's obsessive complaints over, alternately, the dearth or surplus of
concepts of woman in our work seemed to reanimate the disabling essentialism that our
practical feminism had hoped to escape."

Dissonance: Should Twentieth-century Women Composers be Grouped with Foucault's Mad
Criminals?
- Rosemary N. Killam in Music Theory Online Vol. 3.2 (1997). "This
article considers recent books on twentieth-century music by Lester (1989), Kostka (1990),
Straus (1990), and Morgan (1991) and their exclusion of women composers' scores. Three
hypotheses for this exclusion are proposed, based on writings of Margolis and Foucault,
and recent history in academic areas of theory and composition."

declares her book, Feminine Endings, to be the first work explicitly dedicated to a
feminist critique of music, especially as it functions in the traditional academic
disciplines of musicology and music theory. … I will focus on the interaction and
tension between McClary's work and other feminist theories, including those she
acknowledges and those she does not, especially in relation to her theory of narrative,
and the issues of feminine/masculine sexuality and authority."

the dream of escaping altogether from the oppressive structures is just a dream: it is
within the oppressive structures that we must find little spaces for resistance, and this
resistance cannot hope to change the overall situation. And here lies a dangerous
quietism. ."
