ABSTRACT
While the previous chapter discussed works by three women who did not have close relationships with the SWM, works by Ethel Barns (1873-1948), Alice VerneBredt (1868-1958) and Susan Spain-Dunk (1880-1962), who were involved with the SWM or their members, will form the focus of this chapter.1 Barns and SpainDunk, part of the second, more political generation of women under discussion, went on to be members of the SWM and were active string players. Verne-Bredt was older and, while she did not join the SWM herself, she had works performed by female players many of whom were connected to the SWM.
