Besides being one of the most notable English eccentrics of her time, Ethel Smyth is one of the very small band of English women who have made a mark as composers. She wrote several operas, including The Wreckers, an immense Mass, two operettas, and many other works-some still performed. Friend of Virginia Woolf and royalty, she was also a determined and lively autobiographer and one of the most forceful of the Suffragettes. with DAVID ASHFORD , JENNIFER PIERCEY , PHILIP VOSS and MANNING WILSON
