[[File:Rosetta Reitz.jpg|thumb|[[Rosetta Reitz]] (1924–2008) was an American [[jazz]] historian who established a record label producing 18 albums of the music of the early women of jazz and the blues.<ref>Martin, Douglas.

The vast majority of major musicologists and music historians from past generations have been men, as in the 19th century and early 20th century; women's involvement in teaching music was mainly in [[Women in music education|elementary and secondary music teaching]].<ref>{{cite journal|first=Sandra|last=Wieland Howe|title=Women Music Educators in the United States: A History|journal=GEMS (Gender, Education, Music, and Society)|volume=8|number=4|year=2015|quote=[When looking beyond bandleaders and top leaders, women had many music education roles in the] home, community, churches, public schools, and teacher-training institutions [and] as writers, patrons, and through their volunteer work in organizations.}}</ref> Nevertheless, some women musicologists have reached the top ranks of the profession. [[Carolyn Abbate]] (born 1956) is an American musicologist who did her PhD at [[Princeton University]]. She has been described by the ''[[Harvard Gazette]]'' as "one of the world's most accomplished and admired music historians".<ref>[http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2013/11/abbate-named-university-professor/ "Abbate named University Professor"], ''[[The Harvard Gazette]]'', 20 November 2013.

[[Susan McClary]] (born 1946) is a musicologist associated with [[new musicology]] who incorporates feminist music criticism in her work. McClary holds a PhD from [[Harvard University]]. One of her best known works is ''Feminine Endings'' (1991), which covers musical constructions of gender and sexuality, gendered aspects of traditional music theory, gendered sexuality in musical narrative, music as a gendered discourse and issues affecting women musicians.<ref>{{cite web |title=Susan McClary |url=https://www.macfound.org/fellows/519/ |website=[[MacArthur Foundation]] |date=1 July 1995 |access-date=18 January 2021}}</ref>
