The story of women's struggles against traditional gender barriers in the American classical music community is illustrated by photographs, letters, clippings, concert programs, and other historical materials pre- served in the BSO Archives. Pictured here with her husband Georg Henschel, the BSO's first music director (1881-1884), is soprano Lillian Bailey Henschel, who appeared as a guest soloist with the Boston Symphony more than a hundred times between 1881 and 1898.
