Short List of Favorite Works for Clarinet by Women Composers

What follows are clarinet works by women composers that I enjoy. Where possible I have added dates and country of origin. This list is not meant to be exhaustive in any way. But it is, hopefully, a starting point in your exploration of clarinet music written by women. 

Please! Right now I do not have time to respond to requests for additions. But I do have time to make corrections to anything in this list. Many thanks to my colleagues who assisted, including Mary Alice Druhan, David Niethamer, Georg Kühner, Brian Hill, and Dylan James.
