The book covers approximately 200 years of American women's involvement in music.[1] Unsung has become a "standard text" for the subject of American women in music.[2]Unsung covers many aspects of women in music with the exception of singers, due to the author's assertion that they do not experience the same level of gender discrimination as other endeavors women pursue in music, such as conducting or composing.[3] Unsung discusses this sexism that many women face during their musical careers, especially in the world of classical music and academia.[3] First editionAmmer wrote the first edition of Unsung because there was a lack of material about women in music at the time.[3] When Unsung was first published in 1980 it was considered "a pioneering volume at a time when women in music was a fledgling area located at the margins of musicology," according to Music & Letters.[4] Not only did the first edition of Unsung bring attention to women's roles in music, but also helped music from the United States gain "scholarly legitimacy."[4] Library Journal praised the first addition for its accessible prose and for the information about living composers "available nowhere else."[5] Second editionThe second edition contains much of the same work as the original, with the additions of women's contributions to jazz and popular music.[4] Other changes include the additions of women involved in electronic music, music for film, performance art, and "international fusion."[6] CriticismLibrary Journal felt that the title was somewhat negative, saying that "many of these fine musicians have been widely acclaimed."[5]References1. ^{{Cite journal|url = http://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/print/20010122/30891-spring-2001-book-list.html|title = Spring 2001 Book List|last = Riippa|first = Laurele|date = 22 January 2001|journal = Publishers Weekly|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|volume = 247|issue = 4}} 2. ^{{Cite journal|url = https://muse.jhu.edu/journals/music_and_letters/v087/87.1garnett.html|title = New Historical Anthology of Music by Women|last = Garnett|first = Liz|date = 2006|journal = Music & Letters|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|subscription = yes|via = Project MUSE|volume = 87|issue = 1|pages = 167–171}} 3. ^1 {{Cite journal|url = http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=hft&AN=510077034&site=ehost-live|title = Gendering Musical Modernism|last = Thomson|first = Andrew|date = 15 October 2001|journal = Musical Times|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|pages = 62–63|volume = 142|issue = 1876|via = EBSCO|subscription = yes}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite journal|url = http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=7307004&site=ehost-live|title = Unsung (Book)|last = Citron|first = Marcia|date = August 2002|journal = Music & Letters|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|volume = 83|issue = 3|via = EBSCO|subscription = yes}} 5. ^1 {{Cite journal|url = http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lfh&AN=5747451&site=ehost-live|title = Unsung (Book Review)|last = Newlin|first = Dika|date = April 1980|journal = Library Journal|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|page = 860|volume = 105|issue = 7|subscription = yes|via = EBSCO}} 6. ^1 {{Cite journal|url = http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=lfh&AN=4086052&site=ehost-live|title = Unsung (Book Review)|last = Dopp|first = Bonnie Jo|date = 15 February 2001|journal = Library Journal|doi = |pmid = |access-date = 25 January 2016|volume = 126|issue = 3|page = 169|via = EBSCO|subscription = yes}} External links
