BIBLIOGRAPHY
This project began in 2008. The women of Broadway Christian Church held their annual women’s retreat on a snowy February weekend. The theme was music. I offered to look up the familiar hymns written by women and play them on the old piano at the retreat site as the women filtered in on opening day. While researching the subject, the whole thing grew beyond expectation and I decided to write about what I found. Other members of the retreat committee took some of that research and incorporated it into other retreat activities. Afterwards, as time permitted, I delved deeper. Women’s contributions to hymnody are vast and inspiring! Saints or sinners, their stories are humbling. So many women wrote when they were in poverty, isolation or pain. Their faith shone even in times of distress. But those who were blessed with good health and circumstance expressed their faith beautifully as well.
I restricted myself to hymns found in current American hymn books or inspirational collections that appealed to me, and to those songs familiar to me. Many women in those books were noted translators, such as Catherine Winkworth and the Borthwick sisters, but they didn’t compose the original words, and so were omitted with the exception of Jean Janzen, who translated or adapted the writings of medieval women, such as Hildegard Von Bingen, Mechthild von Magdeburg and Julian of Norwich. Some women wrote both the words and music, more so today than in centuries past. Many hymns were co-written with a man. I include those hymns women co-wrote. Many fine current writers and composers have been omitted, some by time and space, some by my lack of acquaintance with their work. I am sorry. Maybe I can amend this at a later time. I welcome any suggestions.
