HOW many women composed music in the Georgian era?!

Have you visited the Claimed From Stationers' Hall music research network website recently?  Anyone would think it was all about women, when they look at the blog today – a big list of Georgian-era women composers has just been uploaded.  They might only have written a couple of pieces, or in some cases, perhaps they weren’t as much authors as arrangers, but there are a surprising number of women contributors, nonetheless!
