I recently realized you never hear of old-timey/classical women composers. Surely they were around?

    Same for men, but men’s work and women’s work was different for good reasons and the people who write history rarely wrote about either (unless the subject is a noble.). If they did write about peasant work, it would have been men’s work, not women’s work. There’s a good chance you should read slave above, but free men who weren’t nobles, also had to work hard
