1CONCLUSION
3From the following table, we find that there are fifty-three women, who have been and are today, prominent in music as performers. Of this number, almost one-fourth are Americans, one-third are less than thirty-five years of age and more than one-half are vocalists. Of the vocalists, more than three-fourths have soprano voices.
5All of the women from abroad have finished their musical training in their home land, then come to America to give concerts. The American women, with few exceptions, have studied abroad then come back to the States. The American and foreign singers have sung in many of the same operas, which is quite different from the pianists and violinists, for we have not found a single instance where, one selection was given by more than one of the artists mentioned.
7We find that of all the performers included in this thesis, the majority are vocalists, probably due to the fact that the voice is a more natural asset, while pianists and violinists, must of course have some natural ability or talent, yet there work is more mechanical.
