Amazing Victories of Women on Battlefields – Homage to Virginia Woolf and Ethel Smyth
"She belongs to the tribe of pioneers, of trailblazers. She went before us, felled trees, blasted rocks and built bridges to clear the way for those who came after her." With these words, Virginia Woolf once described her friend and companion Ethel Smyth in a speech. The two women met in 1930.
"Too late," as the composer, who was already 72 years old at the time and an open lesbian, admitted in a letter. And although Smyth and the author, who was almost 24 years younger, could hardly have been more different in many ways, their mutual admiration and affection could not be denied from the first meeting.
This is reflected not only in their texts and pieces of music, with which they inspired each other, but also in numerous moving letters and diary entries.
Corinna Harfouch and Hideyo Harada now lend their voices to the two and together take a look into the life and work of these icons of the women's movement.
