NIGHTWOOD

• “…I am delighted to find myself in such a circle, I hope we shall have many sweet little concerts together. I think, Miss Woodhouse, you and I must establish a musical club and have regular weekly meetings at your house or ours. Will not it be a good plan? If we exert ourselves, I think we shall not be long in want of allies. Something of that nature would be particularly desirable for me as an inducement to keep me in practice; for married women, you know- there is a sad story against them, in general. They are but too apt to give up music.”

- Mrs. Elton to Emma Woodhouse in Emma (1816) by Jane Austen, found in Women in Music: An Anthology of Source Readings from the Middle Ages to the Present, edited by Carol Neuls-Yates
