'This well-researched, conscientiously written book is recommendable.' Classical Music

'[An] excellent introduction ... well-researched, conscientiously written ...' Classical Music 'A well-researched and compiled portrait.' Gramophone 'This is an informative, inspiring book, about one of the twentieth century's most influential musicians ... The book is not only a thoroughly researched and scholarly work, but also a jolly good read. Jeanice Brooks situates Boulanger in a context of her time, referring to biographical and world events and contemporary philosophical ideas about the arts, in a way that shows how Boulanger was both very much a woman of her age, and how extraordinary she was.' Monica Buckland, Journal of the International Alliance for Women in Music
