Women's Song Forum

The Women's Song Forum (WSF) is an online forum devoted to women’s voices in song, to the many songs by women, and to the many female musicians working in and with song, who have yet to be given the attention they deserve.

The WSF provides an opportunity to expand and enhance knowledge and understanding of this rich and significant area of musical practice and scholarship, and – as the name “forum” suggests – aims to encourage discussion and debate across different interest groups. It is also hoped that the forum will give access to performances of music that are otherwise hard to access.

At the heart of the forum is a commitment to diverse approaches and subjects and access by a wide-ranging audience. The forum is managed by a collective of scholars, performers, and educators, and is conceived as a collaborative venture.In addition to weekly posts by members of the WSF team, there will occasionally be guest bloggers.
