"Rise Up with a Song: The True Story of Ethel Smyth, Suffragette Composer" by Diane Worthey tells the inspiring tale of Ethel Smyth, a pioneering composer and a fervent suffragette in early 20th-century England. Breaking barriers in a male-dominated field, Smyth's music reflected her passion for social justice and women's rights. The story highlights her determination to use her artistic voice to advocate for change, as well as the challenges she faced in both her musical career and activism. Through her journey, readers are introduced to the historical context of the suffrage movement and the powerful role of art in social reform.
