Abstract

This paper offers a reflection about eighteenth-century women composers at the Court of Frederick the Great. The challenge is to reconcile the double condition: woman and artist. To understand what this reconciliation implies, the relevant philosophical, social, cultural and historical context is analyzed, inquiring about the possibilities of access to intellectual and artistic training for women throughout history. It also investigates the concept of cancel culture and the invisibilization of the artist and their work.
