She began her career as a piano teacher in 1842 by giving lessons to the Duchess of Orleans while she obtained a class at the Conservatoire National de Paris.

2) Mel Bonis (1858-1937)is one of the female musical figures belonging to this “enchanted parenthesis”, a period between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the First World War which saw the emergence of a large number of female composers.

3) Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983) was a noted French composer who was the only female member of the famed musical group ‘Les Six’.
