Mme Sicard

Mme Sicard (first name unknown, fl. 1678) was the daughter and pupil of Jean Sicard. Jean dedicated his 12th book to her, and she wrote airs for a number of his publications, including one in the 12th book, three in the 13th, and one each in the 14th and 16th.[1] She is credited as the first published woman composer in France, followed closely by the renowned Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre.[2]
