 “We will only know what women are when they are no longer told what they should be,” wrote the writer, philosopher and painter Rosa Mayreder, born in Vienna in 1858, in 1905. In the same year, Ethel Smyth was born in England. She irritated Brahms with one of her fugues and spent two months in prison as a suffragette. Irma von Troll-Borostyáni, a highly talented journalist and women's rights activist nine years her senior, walked through Salzburg's old town dressed as a man and demanded that talents and abilities should finally be encouraged in girls too. In 1913, composer Lili Boulanger impressed a misogynistic jury and became the first woman to receive the prestigious Prix de Rome.
