[Women composers from the time of Hildegard von Bingen to the present day face both historical and contemporary challenges obstructing the promotion of their work. Women are vastly underrepresented in classical music creation and programming. Despite recent global support initiatives, growing societal awareness and increased public visibility, entrenched methodologies and biases remain strong within the industry. This chapter presents recent public debates and highlights the imbalances and professional barriers that today’s creative women face. Factors that contribute to the invisibility of creative women in the sector are considered. The absence of structural support for women is noted, recognising their relegation to the new music sector, a comparably small corner of the industry. The effects of unconscious bias in programming decisions are presented and supported by statistical analysis of 2016–2018 data surveys of women involved in the creative musical sectors. This chapter considers the impact of patriarchal mechanisms and outdated administrative procedures and discusses possible industry reparations for the future. The role of the academy is presented as a solution to redressing bias. The chapter exposes causal factors prohibiting women from advancement and considers the new music sector’s role in shaping an equitable future.]
