development.

Abstract
In nineteenth century Dublin there was a desire for music to play a
greater role in the cultural aspect of the city. Women contributed to
achieving this as teachers and performers but also as promoters of the
cause. Their participation in the promotion of music in Ireland was
mainly through articles, lectures and the organisation of events such as
the Feis Ceoil. This chapter will examine their attempts to improve
musical standards and to increase the involvement in, and appreciation
of, music by a larger section of society. Through a discussion of the work
of Margaret O’Hea, Edith Oldham and Annie Patterson it will present
an evaluation of women’s involvement in the promotion of music
around the turn of the twentieth century.
