Woman of the Century — Marion Osgood (1893)
“ Her example has been widely imitated, both with and without some measure of success, and to-day professional orchestra-playing by women upon brass, wood-wind, strings and tympani is an established feature of American musical life. Miss Osgood is not desirous of being known to fame mainly as an orchestral conductor. She is giving more and more of her time to solo playing, to musical composition and to teaching and she already ranks among the first of women violinists in this country. ”
