March of the Women - Ethel Smyth 

Performed by Virago Symphonic Orchestra and orchestrated by Lara Denies, Constance van Gog and Marlies Hollevoet, conducted by Pascale Van Os.
Intro text written by Michèle Delagrange based on texts, interviews, quotes, letters by the composer:
There I am
Beating the rhythm of The March of the Women with a toothbrush
from the window of my cell in Holloway Prison.
My fellow suffragettes are dancing and singing around.
It's 1912.
We're here because we pelted government buildings with stones, in our fight for the right to vote.
I taught my fellow women how to throw a stone.
I'm a proud, militant suffragette, called Dame Ethel Smyth.
They can't make me feel small.
At a young age, I decided to devote my life to music, against my father's opposition.
If someone's trying to make you small, you have to become so big that you're inevitable.
So I went to study music in Leipzig, met Brahms, who came to visit often,
met Grieg and Tchaikovsky even advised me to study orchestration.
I'm the first woman whose work was played at New York City's Metropolitan Opera. (it wasn't until 100 years later that a woman got that chance again, unfortunately).
I'm known for many things:
I've conducted my own operas.
I like sheepdogs
I usually dress in tweed, and I've even performed in it at winter afternoon concerts.
I've written books
Delivered speeches
And don't keep my hat straight at all times.
It was also said of me that I compose like a man, that I think in masculine terms: comprehensive and powerful. That I've surpassed my gender.
In reality, I write like a woman: extremely powerful.
I'd like to demonstrate that with a stone's throw.
Because if you have to make me a man in your head
Before you can admit I'm good
Well, that, ladies and gentlemen, is sexism.
The March of the Women, became the body song of the Women's Social and Political Union, but it's still relevant.
Hear my stones and my toothbrush.
Hear that you can't lock up a revolution.
Not many composers can say that their work directly has influenced the rights and freedoms of millions of people.
I can say that.
And I'm a woman.
