Abstract: The aim of our study is to examine a complex issue, namely, the scarcity of female composers as a phenomenon, highlighting several historical and social factors that have led to the peculiar situation of our present time: women’s social role has been discriminated against, and they have been excluded from the artistic world. For the longest time in history, art was the privilege of men. This situation has in some ways improved and changed, but to this day, when we talk about composers, we almost certainly think of men. This study analyses the biography and work of Katalin Incze Gergely, a prominent figure in Cluj’s musical life, a composer, conductor, and music director, while also highlighting the fate and role of contemporary women composers in the musical field. The important stages and milestones of her career are mentioned; her relationship with music gives us an insight into what it means to be a woman composer today in a world that once prevented women from pursuing their creative aspirations.

Key words: Katalin Gergely Incze, female composer, composing, contemporary music
