Impressions That Remained

Ethel Smyth was determined to become a composer, and succeeded in writing operas, works for piano, chamber music, and orchestral music. Hearing loss eventually ended her composing career, but then she discovered an interest in literature and wrote a series of successful autobiographical works. She was also involved in Women's Suffrage, and had many passionate love affairs, mostly with women. Impressions That Remain is one of her memoirs of her eventful life.
