Because I have
conducted my own operas and love sheep-dogs; because I
generally dress in tweeds, and sometimes, at winter
afternoon concerts, have even conducted in them; because I
was a militant suffragette and seized a chance of beating
time to ''The March of the Women'' from the window of my
cell in Holloway Prison with a tooth-brush; because I have
written books, spoken speeches, broadcast, and don't always
make sure that my hat is on straight; for these and other
equally pertinent reasons, in a certain sense I am well
known.
-- Dame Ethel Smyth
1858-1944, British Composer,

Fame is the
perfume of heroic deeds.
