It is published free of charge by The Maud Powell Society for Music and Education, a non-profit charity Section 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1986 and based in Brevard, North Carolina.
After a nine-year hiatus due to a lack of funding,[2] the editors resurrected the publication with a much lower overhead, distributing issues free online in pdf.
The published submissions range from seminal research to dissertation spin-offs to editorials to biography supplements to general articles about forgotten or overlooked women, especially composers, who made, or are now making, important contributions to music.
[7][8] Maud Powell (1867–1920) was regarded by American and European critics as the foremost woman violinist in the world, and, at her death, one of the greatest musicians ever produced by the United States, and the first violinist from the United States to achieve international rank.
In 1904, Powell became the first solo instrumentalist to record for the Victor Talking Machine Company’s celebrity artist series, Red Seal label.
