"This collection will join a select and widely read group of books from the past decade dealing with classical music--and opera in particular--from the perspective of feminist and gender studies, sexuality, subject formation, and related cultural theory. "Siren Songs" will be a valuable book."--Thomas S. Grey, Stanford University
""Siren Songs" is provocative and engaging. As a whole, the collection should become required reading among musicologists, and many of the individual contributions will interest scholars in other fields, as well as the opera-going public."--Ruth Solie, Smith College
