Clara Schumann (wife of Robert) was a trailblazer in every sense—a virtuoso pianist, gifted composer, and accomplished teacher who managed to balance her groundbreaking 61-year concert career with raising eight children and being the primary breadwinner for her family. In a time when women faced immense societal constraints, Clara defied expectations and achieved international fame. German historian Anette Isaacs offers an inspiring look into the extraordinary life and legacy of Clara Schumann, a true icon of resilience, artistry, and determination.
