A Critical Examination of Women Perforrners Within a Canadian, Feminist Context
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis, A Critical Examination ofWomen Performers Within a Canadian, Feminist Context, is based upon the premise that in order to re-discover the women of the past we must develop a new methodology, a fresh approach, to thinking about history. In order to understand the past we must hegin with the present. By examining the context within which a woman can successfully pursue a career in the 1990s, with a consideration of the obstacles she bas had to overcome, we can perhaps formulate a series of questions to ask our sisters ofhistory in order that we might write their "herstory". This approach is being undertaken by several fine scholars as they re-visit the women composers ofthe past and bring their music once again to life. However, performers appear thus far to have heen neglected. This study presupposes that the women who perform music play an important role in the musicallife of society. By allowing these women to tell their own story in their own way we may in tum he able to gain a glimpse through the window ofhistory. III

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
