There was a Radio 3 concert on this subject for International Women's Day earlier tonight. Some of the names here do ring a bell, but they are certainly not 'household names' like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc. There must be historical reasons as to why there were so few. Furthermore, virtually the only female (dance) bandleader in mid-20th century Britain was Ivy Benson, in another male-dominated field. Angela Morley was a female composer and arranger in the post-war period - though at the time, was known as Wally Stott.
