‘I Want Women to Turn’ — Ethel Smyth Quote Tee | RQuéV Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Classic Tee

“I want women to turn their minds to big and difficult jobs.” Ethel Smyth wrote this in a 1902 letter to Henry Brewster, girding to cross the Atlantic and oversee her opera Der Wald at the Metropolitan Opera — where it stayed the only opera by a woman staged there until 2016. She wanted women pointed at the big, hard, consequential work: to her the difficulty was the whole invitation.
