Sommario/riassunto: Exploring and celebrating individual lives in diverse situations, this work is a new departure in the study of women's worldwide music-making. Ten unique women constitute the heart of this volume: each one has engaged her singing voice as a central element in her life, experiencing various opportunities, tensions, and choices through her vocality.
