Thanks GalFin, DieTeeFee, and Dragonel. I've updated the list at the top of the thread, and put little "NEW 2017" markers next to these three.

Theme day is going well this year. Thanks to everyone for your participation!

Thank you LadyInque for starting this and compiling the list of composers. It was a fun day of requesting really good music from female film composers.

The Silent One by Jenny McCleod seems to be missing from the list...

Oh, no, it was totally missing from the list. I just added Jenny McCleod. Thanks for the heads-up!

All right, fans, this day is coming up in a week. If you spot any female composers who aren't on the list at the top of the thread, post 'em here so I can update it and be ready.

What about
Sylvia Fine (The Court Jester)
and
Kristen Anderson-Lopez (Frozen)?

Both listed in Wikiepedia as co-writers rather than just lyricists
..... and wouldn't lyricists count anyway?

I found this article too late for the summer 2018 Proms season in question, but I thought it still had enough information of interest to make it relevant & worthwhile posting here:

Proms 2018: The women composers leading the charge

Great article, Mojo, thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard of any of these composers before... which is rather the point, no?

I found two more female film composers, Isobel Waller-Bridge and Hildur Gudnadottir, but we don't have any of their stuff in the library. Have to keep my eyes open, then.
