Wasn't that fantastic? I just love it when others do some serious research for their own benefit, but we get to benefit from their passion. Such a great resource!

You guys I LOVE this, I had no idea about the two composers from Lithuania!! (I'm British but Lithuanian heritage). That's genuinely made my day, thanks so much. I can't wait to get listening to them!
It's fantastic to see so many women from all over the world on the map, but it's also a little sad to see so many countries (and even continents) with so few female composers. Really hope the same map has a lot more additions in 50 years time.

It is fascinating and I'd argue they have left off a lot of modern composers both well-known and less well-known. Would be great to add some names to the map!! :)
