Abstract
Women composers in increasing numbers are turning to the theatre as an outlet for their creativity. This article focuses on three representative groups of composers: African-American women dramatizing their views of black America's history and culture; midwestern women working within the environment of a regional musical and theatrical center; and individual, progressive voices challenging our ears with their unique sounds. Within these divisions the works of Dorothy Rudd Moore, Libby Larsen, Janika Vandervelde, Eleanor Hovda, Marjorie Hess, Carol Barnett, Lucia Dlugoszewski, and Pauline Oliveros are highlighted as examples of women's work in the genres of opera, modern dance, and theatre piece.
