Her skilled hands glide effortlessly across the keyboard, as if orchestrating a symphony of harmonious notes. It is evident that she possesses both talent and expertise beyond her years. Piano tuning was considered a suitable occupation for women who found themselves compelled to earn a living during those times. This wood engraving serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to thrive amidst adversity. Despite facing countless challenges and prejudices, these trailblazing ladies paved the way for future generations of female musicians and technicians.
