The renaissance: a period of artistic rebirth, innovation, and open creativity... for me. But where were the women? Why can we name lists of male composers but none that were female? Why were women's voices being silenced? 15th century Europe was not a friendly place for women; the music industry was dominated by churches, which ran in a patriarchal manner, so there was no place for women to create music or perform if publicly. And for those women who did, their works were never published, and most of them have been lost forever. We're missing half of the story: the half from the women's perspective.

Since I was born in China, I wanted to know more about where I came from and their art forms. Just by watching a Chinese Opera, you can learn so much about the history of China and what music says about the land and the types of people who live there.
