"A Jewish Maestra and a Lady too': Reflections on Femininity in the Career of Ethel Stark
|
| Abstract |
The Montreal-born Ethel Stark (1910-2012) was a violinist and conductor who, in 1940, co-founded The Montreal Women's Symphony Orchestra (MWSO) which she conducted until the 1960s. The author highlights how an Austro-Canadian Jewish woman who lived outside the constraints of conventional domesticity both navigated through and defied the ideals of the "Cult of True Womanhood" and spearheads a movement of feminism in music. The author argues that Stark's exposure to Jewish cultural traditions of social justice and womanhood in her childhood formed a critical dimension of her feminist activism later in her life, and in particular in the founding of The Montreal Women's Symphony Orchestra in 1940.
