Women are excluded from recognition on a massive scale; In spite of blatant prejudice, the fact remains that disproportionately to the paltry recognition, these creative women have exerted major influence in music globally far exceeding their numbers.
The mission of Women Songwriters Hall of Fame is to honor women whose work represents and maintains the heritage and legacy of a range of the most adored songs from the world's popular music songbook. Women Songwriters Hall of Fame will not only celebrate these established women songwriters, but also serves as a resource for developing new songwriting talent through workshops, showcases and scholarships. There are many programs designed to teach and discover new songwriters.
